No doubt the work done for ASDF 2 deserves to be proud of.

I thought lisp implementations force user to use particular version of ASDF by REQUIRing ASDF or by depending on features specific to particular ASDF version, because of the ECL problem we see and because ASDF is upgradable (now I glanced again through the asdf papers and see the reason to be upgradable is be able to load ASDF via ASDF).

If so, I can use an ASDF version of my choice.

Another option to prevent Quicklisp REQUIRing ASDF is to load my ASDF before Quicklisp (if ASDF is already loaded and it's version satisfies Quicklisp, then Quicklisp doesn't try to reload ASDF)
