I'm not convinced this is a good idea, but then again I don't
understand your use case.

You should ask Robert, who is maintainer, but yes, it makes sense to
export these from package ASDF.

A very cursory glance finds nothing wrong with your implementation. I
don't love the mismatch between your treatment of wild and the
completely unportable treatment of wild by underlying implementations,
but that's not your fault.

Also, why don't you use package-inferred-system for your system? :-)

Would you be interested in becoming ASDF co-maintainer and slowly take
over from Robert and I?
