Apart from politics, the other reason against (whether other people finds it compelling or not, I don't know), is that including the binary means taking responsibility. For example, to release security upgrades as soon as possible, at least for serious bugs. That also means monitoring the GnuTLS lists (or security bulletins). Which is currently done, I think, but what if the people doing it suddently lacks time or just moves to other pursuits? It's easy to start distributing the GnuTLS DLLs, harder to stop doing it. =C2=A0 =C2=A0 Juanma
