But does that really make sense? Using either is somewhat subjective.
Saying lets just drop these in a sec to all package authors seems
overreaching.

You write like lets just remove cl-lib and forget that is existed.
As mentioned elsewhere cl-lib isn't just sequence functions..
It does sound again like there's someting wrong with cl-lib because it's
cl-lib.
