Again, it's not about getting rid of (:use) functionality, but rather
let everything be declared through (:require), and deprecating the use
of :use

(:use foo :only [a b c]) will become (:require foo :refer [a b c])
(:use foo) will become (:require foo :refer :all)

This will save lots of time and frustration among people trying to
remember why (:use :only) somewhere, why (:require :refer :all)
somewhere else, etc.

This is, IMHO, and it seems that Phil & other agree with that, the
simplest thing that has a chance to work, and maximizes cost/benefit
ratio.
