Because to me EIEIO seems to fit the same criteria as cl.el: it is
pretty big, it is derived from Common Lisp, and it uses Common Lisp
names (so intrudes on the "user namespace").

CEDET uses it. This was a major feature addition to Emacs. Presumably
many people use it.
But this discussion is also about what elisp writers may do, not what
they do already.
