I don't get your problem. I'm a fairly strong user of OpenSSL, but
GNUtls has importance:
  * better licensing
  * alternative implementation
  * brings competition

I think it's about time more people started using it too.

By your logic, GNU/Linux would never have grown as it has been growing.

It's more important to make GNUtls ready than discussing strawmen...
