This is needed because Fare’s backward-incompatible changes to ASDF keep breaking projects.https://twitter.com/ngnghm/status/942269688242954240 …

Replying to @xach
Maybe just asking asdf people to test before releasing would be enough, actually. I don’t know.

ASDF is tested against all of Quicklisp using cl-test-grid before release. There are still unforeseen use cases triggering bugs, each time added to the steadily growing regression test suite, which is run on Linux, macOS, Windows.

cl-test-grid is great, but fails when a system requires a C library not installed on the test machine, at which point the systems can have further issues not found by the test. Hence breakage in cl-postgres and qt-libs only being found after release.

If you want to improve the ASDF testing situation for the next maintainer, improve Quicklisp and/or cl-test-grid so it can optionally invoke the underlying package manager to download missing C libraries.
