MKCL will bundle a specially-tailored version of ASDF, is that right?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I much prefer to bundle with the least amount of tailoring possible (ideally none, just drop-in).<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

If so, there is no requirement that we wait for completion of the MKCL version before releasing ASDF 3.1, is there? What we want is just an ASDF that is a suitable candidate for bundling. Is that correct?<br>

Granting to a Common Lisp implementation any of such statuses is solely your privilege as ASDF maintainer.
