Maybe because in 2015 most Common Lisp implementations are
compilers and not interpreters anymore?

Fine. In those cases, load compiles anyway. No necessity to _compile_ before loading.

To me it looks as if you either do unusual things or have
an unusual operating system or Common Lisp implementation,
where both could be a valid explanation.

I gave my exact reasons in another message.

There's nothing bad in using CL:LOAD, but I can't remember
a situation from the last ten years where I have used it.

Funny. I almost always use load. I only compile when done. (And I do understand that many lisp's just compile as they load - but of course, I don't end up with a bunch of compile files.)
