In a minor point on compatibility: I believe that [in the revision to the XDG
machinery][1], under Windows the default location of the XDG config directory
will change. Unfortunately, I have not had the time to verify that this is the
case on my production ABCL instances under Windows.
While I acknowledge that this change is a “bug fix” in ASDF’s interpretation of
the XDG spec and the “correct” thing to do, it might help to be a little more
verbose in the release notes on the ramification of a Windows-deployed end
user’s upgrading from asdf-3.1.4 to asdf-3.1.5. Windows' lack of a symbolic
links and NTFS semantics of not allowing a directory to be renamed when opened
by a given process may make upgrading ASDF in-place for production instances a
little tricky.

Otherwise, onwards!
