I believe it does remove compatibility with anything pre-24.0.  At
least, there is no cl-lib in GNU Emacs 23.4.1, which is the version
currently in Debian stable.

I am one small voice, but as a user who prefers Debian stable but also
the maint branch of Org, I'd request that you avoid a hard dependency on
cl-lib for a while longer, maybe at least until Emacs 24 is the default
in major distro's package systems?

Best,
Richard
