I know all of that. Just because something was decided does not mean
that that decision was the best decision possible, or even wise.
This is a gratuitous change that breaks backward compatibility. That's
the point. Gratuitous - unnecessary.
Personally I tend to require `cl', and at compile-time only, to get
such macros. But it is entirely reasonable that someone might require
`cl-macs' - at runtime or compile time - to get such a macro definition.
And if some user does not compile the code that requires the library
that provides the macro, then s?he will now get the entire `cl' at
runtime, instead of getting only the much-smaller `cl-macs' at runtime.

Not IMHO.
