This is not Common Lisp!
If you had written (require 'emacs-cl) it could have been Common Lisp,
(emacs-cl is a Common Lisp implementation written in emacs lisp).
But cl is an emacs "package" (nothing in common with Common Lisp
packages), that provides a few Common Lisp like functions and macros.

No it is because the authors of emacs are stubborn. They don't want
people to write emacs code with these common lisp like functions.
Just ignore this warning.
