I agree, but doesn't that also start with compiling support for GnuTLS
into the prebuilt Emacs? Don't we start taking responsibility at that
point? If there is a security update for GnuTLS that requires the user
to use the latest certain version, don't we have to provide support for
the latest version in the binary? Assuming that you can't use the fixed
binary with the previous versions headers, that is.
