I made an effort to try and eliminate all uses of `cl' (both
compile-time and run-time), with the aim to mark `cl' as obsolete at
some point, and move it to GNU ELPA.

Now, you're the boos, so you don't have to do what I planned.

Still, I think it's silly to keep cl.el other than for backward
compatibility.  Better move the few commonly used thingies out of cl-lib
and remove their "cl-" prefix.  As we've already done over the years
with push/pop/dolist/dotimes/setf/...
