The argument was that one CL implementation is enough for them, and
since SBCL is already there, they will not add another one.

As for tracking implementation compiler progress, shootout is not the
right place. The goal of shootout is to come up with best optimized
program for a certain problem, while for tracking compiler performance
it is important to track performance over time over a fixed set of
programs.

http://git.boinkor.net/gitweb/boinkmarks.git seems to have cl-bench
which can be used for this purpose. Seems like they are already
benchmarking sbcl, cmucl and clisp at least.
