True, but it can be argued that use of cl.el in small packages causes
unnecessary delay in loading time, memory use, etc.  With an
elephant-sized karakondľula like Gnus, cl.el is only a tear-drop in
the ocean of Elisp.  :-)

It is.  But in this case, it's irrelevant, as Gnus is bundled with GNU
Emacs and respects its standards.  It would be, uh, difficult, to have
one version of Gnus under GNU Emacs, and something else under XEmacs.

Incidentally, XEmacs preloads (dumps) the CL extensions.  (Except for
cl-macs.el, which is auto-loaded.)
