Doing so seem like a good idea, to me. netrc.el doesn't call any Gnus functions, except for gnus-encrypt, as far as I can tell. And if we (you) move gnus-encrypt.el to encrypt.el, all will be fine, I think. > so the Gnus version of pop3.el will have a dependency we don't want. pop3.el would depend on netrc.el, which would depend on encrypt.el, which would depend on password.el. All small files, and no Gnus dependencies.
