.asd files are load'ed and not compile-file'd so the difference
between warning and style-warning there is inconsequential.

And yes, the deprecation process for ASDF also takes many years, and
the warning won't turn into an error for at least two years to come
and maybe more. Some of the deprecated functions will probably forever
remain style-warning's. Other functions may be escalated to warnings
or errors.

I've done that kind of stuff in the past and will keep doing it. The
warning is how you get things fixed. Just like with SBCL deprecation.
