I can probably do that, yes. Why do you say they're a crock? They're very useful for defining what's supposed to happen at a higher level than scattering #+/- about source files everywhere.<br><br>-Nathan<br>

Dear Nathan,<br>
<br>
at least as far as quicklisp-included software goes,<br>
your ironclad and nibbles seem to be the only user of ASDF's<br>
:if-component-dep-fails and :feature features.<br>
These features are a crock and I'd like to plainly remove them.<br>
In the future, I might provide a better-thought-out replacement that<br>
actually works.<br>
In the meantime, the backwards-compatible solution would be to use<br>
#+sbcl and such;<br>
yes it breaks an abstraction barrier — but at least it doesn't require<br>
ASDF itself<br>
to break its own abstraction barrier internally.<br>
<br>
Could you "fix" your .asd's to not use these features I'd like to drop?<br>
<br>
Does any other person who cares about ASDF cares about these features?<br>
