As I'm editing my systems to include the requested metadata, I realize that
this can be quite cumbersome for secondary systems (mostly test systems).

Can we exempt secondary systems "foo/bar" from having to repeat
the metadata from primary system "foo"?

And what if the test system is call foo-test in its own .asd file?
Does he then have to repeat the metadata?

While I like the idea, I think we shouldn't hurry and release something
before we have figured out those details.

Once again, I feel like we should release what we have as 3.1.5,
and start a new 3.2.0 alpha branch where we merge our experimental code.
