I almost agree completely with this, except that I agree with Richard in that
I don't want everything that doesn't conflict moved out of cl-. This would
lead to unnecessary clutter in the global namespace for functions that are
rarely used.

If we want to deprecate cl.el and drop cl- prefixes from a selection of cl-lib
functions, I'm good with that plan. The next step then is determining that
list.
