That has nothing to do w/ 1.3. Clojure/core has already stated that any and all contrib libraries can be moved forward into the new system. Complain to the contrib library author if they haven't done so. As far as the overall Clojure library situation - the number of good libraries outside of Contrib is quite large and much of high quality.
