Re: CC mode loads CL

    Is that a problem?

If cl is loaded when a user visits a C mode file, that is a problem in
and of itself.  This is because the CL functions are not standard
parts of the defined Lisp name space.  It is legitimate for users to
define those names for other purposes.  Loading an ordinary Emacs
package should not conflict with such definitions, so the ordinary
Emacs package should not load CL at run time.

if CL is loaded during some part of bootstrapping, that's different.
That isn't a problem in itself.  If it doesn't cause some other sort
of problem, it is ok.
