> Last time I checked on it, QuickLisp doesn't support fetching packages over anything except for plain http, with no encryption and no verification mechanism in place to detect files that may have been tampered with during transmission.

I know it's not an excuse, but it was fun as heck booting up "capital M" MacOS (9.2.1) and loading Quicklisp into MCL without any trouble. I'm not even sure that's a supported platform by Quicklisp. https://code.google.com/archive/p/mcl/

I think there might have been bits and pieces somewhere to run Quicklisp on lisp machines... or at least ASDF, which is the core dependency
