I asked for clarification; please see the followup from Nikos (and his
previous message):

http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/7814

"Whether you need to support gnutls 2.12.x is up to you. However, I note
that this version is totally unsupported, if it is broken or has a
critical bug you are on your own."

I hope that helps clarify things and perhaps convince you and others
that we should stop supporting GnuTLS 2.6.6 (the current minimum) or any
other 2.x GnuTLS release with Emacs 25.

Thanks
Ted
