I'm aware that configure now complains if libgnutls is not found.
What was done to deprecate tls.el, which is eg still not marked obsolete?
Were any of the proposals in
http://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2016-07/msg00227.html
enacted? Eg it still seems to use ssl3.
Does an end-user who does not compile Emacs themselves receive any
notification about avoiding tls.el?
