That's true, but possibly stating the obvious: ASDF does not <br>
"understand" a version string like that. So you can't say "any version <br>
since October 2020 will work." Getting something like that to work would <br>
be an exercise for the extension protocol.<br>
<br>
This actually might make a good test case for us to see if the proposed <br>
protocol (versioning method keyword initarg for defsystem) makes sense.<br>
