I am sorry, but moving to cl-lib is not trivial and a lot of
applications are still using cl.
What you are discouraging is maintaining external elisp libraries,
remember that many people are using emacs just because there is external
libraries.

BTW I have started a branch with cl-lib+lexical-binding, it is a lot of
work and will not be ready soon.
I still want my current branchs to be fontlocked correctly.
Of course I can switch to emacs-24.3, but IMO it is not fair to disable
cl features.

Thanks for your understanding.
