What about this part of what I wrote.  +100 for that as well?

 Finally, to make things even more muddy, we have recently piled
 additional, non-Common Lisp stuff into the `cl-' namespace.
 What's that about?  That just confuses people.
 
 If it's just because such things are in a `cl*.el' file then I
 think we're missing the point of such a prefix.  It should be 
 reserved for Common Lisp emulation, nothing more or less.

This particular problem was reported as bug #20056, which was
just closed today as "wont-fix".
