Note "only" and "initially" - it follows that my propositions was that
the problem would not reoccur at later loads. Luc has since clarified
that that isn't the case, so it is indeed a problem wrt that policy.

I've noticed two such duplications: `dotimes' and `dolist'. They
obviously have been taken from cl-macs.el and moved to the core, and
in the process they've been rewritten to not use other cl constructs
internally. Afaics they are still semantically identical so they
aren't problematic.

Are you referring to something else I've missed?

Perhaps you haven't had the need to use functions like
`delete-duplicates' and `cl-macroexpand'.
