Sorry, didn't realise those macros are autoloaded. Só you only need to
depend on it (or on a recent enough emacs version).

I see. If this bug is bearable, I would require an emacs version as low as
possible. If the bug is game breaking, I would depend on a version that
fixed the bug. Ultimately it's up to you.

If you choose the second option and there's no released version without the
bug, then it would be polite to wait for the next release.

Yes. I _think_ 24.3 was the first to bundle cl-lib. But I never know for
sure, so I just include cl-lib in my dependencies and move on with it.
There's really no harm in being expressive.

Best,
