Subject: bug#24802: emacs -Q -nw loads cl-lib

Package: emacs
Version: 26.0.50

Current trunk on GNU/Linux in an xterm:

emacs -Q -nw
(featurep 'cl-lib)  -> t

I believe this is because term/xterm.el now requires cl-lib at run-time.

You might want to consider:

i) Preload cl-lib - see previous discussions in list archives.

ii) Make term/*.el subject to same rules as files that are explicitly
listed in loadup.el - ie no requirements beyond those of loadup.
