RMS> Why would it apply to EIEIO?

Because to me EIEIO seems to fit the same criteria as cl.el: it is
pretty big, it is derived from Common Lisp, and it uses Common Lisp
names (so intrudes on the "user namespace").

RMS> I don't think I ever saw a program that used EIEIO.

CEDET uses it.  This was a major feature addition to Emacs.  Presumably
many people use it.

But this discussion is also about what elisp writers may do, not what
they do already.
