+1 to allowing overrides for =asd-files=. If nothing else, packages need to be flexible! In addition to what Pierre is pointing out, the only issue I can think of with reading in all asd files is perhaps source trees which vendor packages. I don't think this is common in Common Lisp source trees, so maybe that's something we can deal with if it comes up. -- Katherine
