Welcome to source based dependencies/languages. That's one downside, ideally (in my world) spec would be a compile/test time dependency - esp. since AFAIK it's not recommended to turn it on at run-time for day-to-day operation. I wonder if it'd be possible to have no-op versions of spec APIs in clojure.jar that are replaced with implementations if you include the actual... implementation. I hit this recently with clojure.osgi and the move to the latest clojure, I had to include spec - which, as Sean mentions - is just part of the build process ( Maven in this case ), but I did feel dirty about it - since clojure.jar depends on an alpha, when that comes out of alpha, we'll need patch releases of Clojure core.
