It seems not.  gnus/sasl*.el and the original sasl*.el (written for
FLIM, a general purpose library for internet messages) are identical
except arch-tags.

For example, smtpmail.el, which currently supports only three
authentication methods (i.e. CRAM-MD5, PLAIN, and LOGIN), will benefit
from adopting sasl.el which brings support for other authentication
methods.
