It seems to me, that usocket and IOlib are two projects of mostly the same abstraction level, that implement alternative approaches: Lisp-runtime-backed and OS-backed sockets. And it would be better, if the alternatives both remain.
Indeed. However you should consider the integration of libraries written to use these competing libraries.
We had the case with UFFI and CFFI too. There's a UFFI/CFFI compatibility package to allow libraries using the UFFI API to work with CFFI.
