Well yes, we can do anything we want. My take on this is that bindings should remain close to the library they’re wrapping, generally speaking, to avoid bad surprises. I think certificate search should either but up to actual applications (like Guix), as is the case now, or changed in GnuTLS proper. Doing it in guile-gnutls just because we can easily do so doesn’t sound like a good idea to me. WDYT? Ludo’.
