This is a bad change.

It brings in many more packages, and every additional package brought
in reduces the quality of our warnings (e.g. if any of the packages
(transitively) loaded load cl-lib, then we fail to signal when
a package uses cl-lib functionality without requiring cl-lib).

We should try and find some other solution.
