Misguided, IMHO. Plenty of people will use Emacs 24.4 (and 25 and
26...) with packages that work also with older versions, and thus
sometimes employ `cl.el' functions (even in addition to `cl-lib.el'
functions).
*Encourage* use of `cl-lib.el' (be positive). Do not downgrade
Emacs just to make the point that `cl-lib.el' now exists.
Please try to look beyond the snapshot that is the latest nifty
Emacs development to the wider world of Emacs _users_. There is
no reason to gratuitously make their experience worse. You gain
nothing by that, and they (and Emacs) lose.
