So, an older version was left (behind)/made of - for example - 'cl-generic' to be available for emacs<25, to provide partial (compared to current version 1.0) set of features of current 'cl-generic'. Although there is a line "Summary: Forward cl-generic compatibility for Emacs<25", except 'cl-lib' has "Summary: Properly prefixed CL functions and macros", which I think should be changed to something like in case of 'cl-generic', I'm still not sure about naming/indication... Separating them more explicitly from the rest, could be good idea.
