Deprecated doesn't mean you can't use it. It just means it might go
away in the mythical next version of ANSI CL.
But that doesn't mean cmucl can't use require however it wants to in
its own code.

Well, that would defeat the purpose of package locks. If you don't
want to use require, I think something like
(without-package-locks
(load "library:subsystems/gray-streams-library"))
will do the trick.
However we may also want to think about whether we want require to
disable package locks. In general, we probably don't want that,
except when we're requiring our own special packages like
gray-streams, clx, clm, or hemlock.
