You were not specific about which thread, so I searched the emacs-devel header lines for "windows", "installer" (no hits for that one), and "GnuTLS". I came across this, as the last post for what is presumably the thread in question (?): > From: Chong Yidong > > Juanma Barranquero writes: > > > The main argument is still that GnuTLS, etc. have their own projects > > and maintainers, and they should be the ones taking care of building > > and distributing it. > > Agreed.

That doesn't seem to quite correspond to what we're seeing now (GnuTLS mentioned in the announcement, and with no description of it) or with what you are arguing for (an Emacs installer for Windows), but perhaps you meant something different. Anyway, I'm glad to hear that Windows binaries will continue to be published. Thanks.
