First off, I think people should make it clear that new code saturated
with calls to cl-lib will not be accepted.  Once people are coaxed out
of this habit, it will be possible to start removing calls to cl-lib
from existing code.

This will also afford us opportunities to move frequently used cl-lib
constructs that aren't all that adventitious to subr.el.  If all goes
well, it will be feasible to use Emacs without loading cl-lib at all.
