As I said, LispWorks PE provides an old ASDF. To verify this, * download LispWorks Personal Edition * launch it * (require "asdf") * (asdf:asdf-version)
Again, I am writing on behalf of users, not myself personally. I don't use LispWorks PE or any LispWorks version for development. Others use LispWorks PE. Some do so to evaluate not only LispWorks but Common Lisp as a language. It seemed reasonable to prevent them from getting into a borked state, if possible (and not too difficult or annoying).
