Are you saying that I just got lucky because I happen to be subscribed to this mailing list, but it's ok if other people have to suffer?

For the records, I don't like any of the suggested "default" paths.

Just make this a configuration option. For example, an environment variable, or so, then everybody can choose their own preferred name.

export ASDF_DEFAULT_PATH=~/common-lisp

...and please make this empty by default, so it doesn't mess up anything unless I ask it to do so...

Thanks,
Pascal
