Personally, I think the 10 minute restriction is silly, and reflects
the short attention span of the MTV-generation, which is probably
partly responsible for the relatively low popularity of Common Lisp
itself. 

Many packages would take much longer than that.  Imagine for instance
an incremental LR parser generator, which might be very complicated
and require some theoretical understanding.  Or, to cite something
close to my own interests, the "obseq" library that incrementally
divides a sequence of objects into optimal subsequences.  It would be
very hard to even understand the problem it is trying to solve in 10
minutes, let alone understanding how to use it in your software.
