How do you define "outdated"? GnuTLS developers maintain 3 branches
in parallel, and release versions from all the 3 branches. Which one
should we follow, and does any N+1 release from that branch mean that
the N release is considered "outdated" and should be replaced?
Moreover, accommodating a new version of GnuTLS might mean changes to
Emacs C and/or Lisp sources -- are we going to release patches to
the core sources through ELPA or something?
IOW, this sounds like a major undertaking on our part, and I'm sure
more and more issues will pop up as we consider the implications. I'm
not sure we want to become a de-facto "distro" for MS-Windows users,
as I don't think we have the resources, even if we have the desire.
