As far as I can tell, neither version currently has a replacement (graft). What is the purpose of these two versions? 3.7.7 is almost the current release [0], but 3.7.2 is an older release in the same series. GnuTLS does have two release series [1], stable and next, that correspond to 3.6.x and 3.7.x numbering schemes. It seems to me that the `gnutls` variable should refer to the latest "stable" release, and the `gnutls-latest` variable to latest "next" release. Does that make sense? What am I missing? It appears that 3.7.2 has some unpatched advisories [2].
