So, you're thinking of zapping Cells-standalone as a seperate project,
but still distributing it as a standalone package, from the Cello
project?  As in, I can grab cells-1.2.5.tar.gz from the Cello download
area?  That's cool, then.

asdf-install downloads tarballs, it doesn't check things out of cvs.
Plus, there are people like you who have/had cvs-phobia, and like me,
who generally avoid checking source out of cvs because I prefer to use
a Real Release if possible.  As long as you make periodic releases of
Cells, in tarball form, it's all good.
