No, unfortunately not.  I myself use mostly LispWorks (Windows and
Linux/x86) and SBCL (Linux/x86).  (LispWorks shouldn't be a problem
anyway as it's not affected by the switch.)

I think that at least LispWorks, SBCL, AllegroCL, CMUCL, CLISP, and
OpenMCL should be supported, everything else being a bonus.  Operating
systems: Windows (where applicable), Linux, OS X.

If you don't want to test all of this for yourself, how about offering
a tarball of Drakma which uses usocket for download?  Send an
announcement to this mailing list including an overview of what you've
tested and what not.  We can ask "interested parties" to try it out
and we'll switch to the new version in four weeks, say, unless someone
objects.  Does that sound OK?

Cheers,
Edi.
