I don't disagree that Quicklisp needs a better distribution and security model. And maybe it was done by amateurs. But asdf is such a pig-brained overengineered impossible-to-debug, impossible-to-learn pile of impenetrable crap that Quicklisp seems downright elegant by comparison. ASDF is like git: It sucks and we are stuck with it. But FFS let's not talk about expanding its scope.
