Seconded. And for the record, the reasons you cite are exactly the
reasons that choice was made in the first place. (It was also the
default behavior back in the days of time-lambda, and I can confirm
from something I've been looking into that that's also the default for
at least one other cl package (cl-l10n)).

That's not to denigrate the OP's work and thought, of course! (Kudos
on those.)

Anyway, just my 2¢.

61. If my advisers ask "Why are you risking everything on such a mad
    scheme?" I will not proceed until I have a response that satisfies
    them.
