Unsurprisingly, I disagree.Anyone is free to run any OS and libraries they want. Any OS runs with the Mutt+GPGME combination it ships with.
I think tthe current Mutt development branch should not be so conservative to build against the oldest toolchain on some OS somewhere. This would be bad practice for any dependency, but even more so for "security" and encryption software.
Which is why the author of GnuPG and GPGME said in this very thread: Werner Koch:
in fact for security reason it would even be better to require a very decent version.
Werner: What's the oldest version of GPGME that you would still feel comfortable to depend on - for software developed now, released in months, and shipped in years?
