(I'm going through old Emacs bug reports that unfortunately got no
response at the time.)

I think this makes sense -- Common Lisp is the biggest non-Elisp Lisp
dialect, so using this as a default seems good.

However, it's a behaviour change, and people who are used to wrongly
indenting Common Lisp code may be annoyed by the change.

Does anybody have an opinion on changing the default indentation in this
mode?
