I use an automated mechanism to setup my asdf:*central-registry* and
it would be a pain if I had to change that.  I find it offensive if
some library decides that it is "better" than something else and makes
that something else unusable or harder to use.

In my own private copy cffi, I have renamed CFFI"s uffi.asd to
uffi-compat.asd.  I'd recommend that this'd be done in the upstream
version, too.
