The change was unnecessarily drastic.

     However, there is no problem with using the `cl' package at
     compile time, with `(eval-when-compile (require 'cl))'.  That's
     sufficient for using the macros in the `cl' package, because the
     compiler expands them before generating the byte-code.

There were no problematic uses in tramp.el, AFAICT (after adding
`eval-when-compile').
