I like cl-lib (it could be optimized better still, but it's good for
certain uses), and this discussion doesn't look like it will reach any
constructive conclusion, so it didn't seem worth it to spend time on it.

If it needed any confirmation, I too like cl-lib and I too help maintain other people's code in the Emacs core tree as well as maintaining a number of libraries I have authored. I read many styles of Elisp here and am not really phased by any particular programming technique being discussed here (cl-lib, seq, pcase, verbose while loops with catch/throw, etc etc).
