If the public API is changed in a not-backward-compatible way, I would 
suggest to release new ASDF system (bordeaux-threads2), and
leave the old version available in quicklisp forever.

People who are ready to use new version, just add bordeaux-thread2 
into their ASDF dependency. Others are able to use old version.

This is a good practice. And it costs nothing.
