I can confirm RHEL/CentOS nor Fedora downstreams in their most active
releases no longer actively use the code from tls_m.c. Therefore its
removal should be OK in 2.4 branch, from point of view of these
distros.

I'm also CCing Nikos in case he would like to share anything relevant
regarding GnuTLS.
