I've talked to Emacs devs, and it's still questionable whether they will
backport that. It seems like releases of Emacs 24.x are going to be
suspended. Another question though, is it possible to make an option to
install "libgnutls-28.dll". Emacs devs, for examples, also told me that
the new GnuTLS has some security issues, and is generally not meant for
broad public yet. It's good that MSYS2 is constistently catching up with
bleeding edge features, but it's also not good to blindly switch to new
libraries/tools without having an option to switch back. What do you think?
Regards,
Alexander
