    But I guess you already did that, as the code will use
    make-network-process when available ...

There is no point maintaining support for old Emacs versions
in a file distributed with Emacs.  So how about deleting
the code that supports old versions--for simplicity's sake.

    Do you really require cl at runtime or just at compile time?

It's not correct to use cl at run time
in a package that is part of Emacs.
See the Tips appendix of the latest Lisp manual sources.
