I agree that it would be a good idea to define a standard run-time (i.e.
non-development) subset of Common Lisp. I don't think CLOS is the only
area where features would be deleted to create this subset. For some
reason it's been very difficult to recruit volunteers to propose the
details of this.
By the way, I'm not sure it's desirable to omit CHANGE-CLASS from a
run-time subset. This is not really a development operation, some
application programs do it.
