Drop support for GNUTLS and libnss in 2.5?



HI!

IMHO OpenLDAP project should drop support for building against GNUTLS
and libnss. Support for these seems to be largely non-existent and it's
a waste of time, especially since there is no build pipeline and no
automatic testing for all the variants.

The support for libnss was done by RedHat for the unified crypto project
which is AFAICS obsolete. Does anybody maintain the stuff?

The support for GNUTLS was requested by Debian folks because of OpenSSL
licensing paranoia. Does anybody maintain the stuff?
The question is whether this is still revelavant with OpenSSL 3.0.0
moving to Apache-2.0 license [1]. [2] says APL-2.0 is not compatible
with GPLv2 though.

Ciao, Michael.
