Yes.

I don't know sbcl. I don't know sbcl-boot.

I was imagining a sbcl-bin package (like we have many -bin packages 
already).

The end-user could choose to install the sbcl-bin package and use it 
as-is.

Someone will have to make that sbcl-bin binary available. Maybe already 
available as linux_compat or other?
