I remembered seeing something on emacs-devel about this, and just found
this statement from Stefan Monnier from a few days ago:


Note that the main motivation behind the move to cl-lib is so that it's
perfectly acceptable to use cl-lib functions (since they don't pollute
the global namespace any more).  So if you prefer to avoid cl-lib
functions, that's fine, but if you want to use them, that's perfectly
fine as well.
