I edited the Google Common Lisp Style Guide (well, at least the
version that was published a few years back; I know it has evolved
internally since, but no updates were published.) I also published an
ASDF "best practices" document.

There are many acceptable yet mutually incompatible ways of using
Common Lisp packages. You must pick one and stick to it within any
given system. Maybe you can describe them (or at least, one) in a blog
post and/or some other document that you write.

Then again, there are also proposed alternatives to packages. Or you
may embrace modernity and embrace Racket modules, or their
reimplementation by Gerbil Scheme.

It is paradoxical, yet true, to say, that the more we know, the more ignorant
we become in the absolute sense, for it is only through enlightenment that we
become conscious of our limitations. Precisely one of the most gratifying
results of intellectual evolution is the continuous opening up of new and
greater prospects.  — Nikola Tesla
