Not at all. Fully compliant Common Lisp systems implement all the Lisp
goodness *plus* CLOS. That's a huge effort and only a few folks ever got
it together enough to make a complete implementation. That said, there
are plenty of CL-based systems that have been built, including many that
are still in use today (IIRC, one of the major airfare booking web sites
uses it).
