Please don't.
We already have the hyperspec available as a package. Adding cltl2 will
only confuse people as it describes a non-standard.
Maybe you could package one of the lisp tutorials online, or I seem to
remember that one of more of the books of Norvig or Graham became
liberated a while ago.

At least provide strong language that the ANSI standard is the standard
and that the hyperspec is as close as you can get to it...
