I think this function can be removed entirely. It is the only place
where the obsolete variables `gnus-nntp-server' and
`gnus-secondary-servers' are referenced, and its main job seems to be
bailing on Gnus startup if a nntp server isn't available. Now that Gnus
doesn't insist on being a newsreader, there's no reason why it should
ever bail on startup, no matter what happened. The only bit of the
function that looks like it should be kept is:
(gnus-agent-read-servers-validate-native gnus-select-method)
Which updates from earlier versions, but that bit could be moved elsewhere.

Yes, so when gnus-nntp-server is removed, that function should be
removed (is the plan). It's only been obsolete since 24.1, though, so
that sounds too soon. Perhaps for Emacs 28?

Oh! I was getting ahead of things, sorry. 28 sounds fine to me. I guess
I'll leave this bug report open for when the time comes.

I don't think that's necessary... perhaps just add a comment to the
line before gnus-nntp-server that this function should be removed at the
same time?
