Stefan put in words what I was thinking earlier today. For those of us that use both CL and clojure, keeping swank-clojure up to date wrt the slime HEAD is a good thing, if you ask me. It is, however, a two-way street and I would imagine that the swank-clojure implementors don't want to spend too much time chasing SLIME's tail, as it were. Keeping the clojure backend on the radar of the core SLIME development team is probably a good thing. I think it would be unfortunate if swank-clojure were to require a different SLIME emacs piece than the CL swank (and scheme48, etc...) backends.
