For backward compatibility as well as to provide a practical backdoor for hackers,
ASDF will first search for .asd files in the directories specified in
asdf:*central-registry*
before it searches in the source registry above.
See Configuring ASDF to find your systems — old style.
By default, asdf:*central-registry*
will be empty.
This old mechanism will therefore not affect you if you don’t use it, but will take precedence over the new mechanism if you do use it.
