Granting to a Common Lisp implementation any of such statuses is solely your privilege as ASDF maintainer. But obviously, if you were to promote MKCL to any of those levels I would naturally be flattered. :-) As you say, a ASDF version that is a suitable candidate for bundling is perfectly fine. My original idea was that ASDF 3.1 would come bundled with MKCL 1.2.0 due a few months from now, but I'd like very much that ASDF 3.1 be good to run on the latest MKCL 1.1.X also (bundled or not).
