According to the description of emacs-cl-generic, it exists to provide
some backward compatibility for old Emacsen(< 25)

However, the Guix already package Emacs 27(even 28 on master branch).
IMO, emacs-cl-generic have done its job and we no longer need it.

Package emacs-finalize depends on emacs-cl-generic, it should still work
after we remove this dependency. If user install this package
accidentally, it may shadow the real cl-generic.el bundled with Emacs itself.

The package has now been removed (commit f1939f7d16), and emacs-finalize
no longer depend on it.

Thank you for the report!
