<p dir="auto">I am not sure what the best option would be, therefore I am not submitting a patch yet, and rather suggest something.</p>
<p dir="auto">Possibly you could delete chapter 3.8 and replace it by a footnote in chapter 2, where it says:</p>
<blockquote dir="auto">
<p>Technically GnuTLS is a portable ANSI C based library which implements the protocols ranging from SSL 3.0 to TLS 1.3 (see Introduction to TLS, for a detailed description of the protocols), accompanied with the required framework for authentication and public key infrastructure. Important features of the GnuTLS library include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Support for TLS 1.3, TLS 1.2, TLS 1.1, TLS 1.0 and optionally SSL 3.0 protocols.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">The footnote could be:</p>
<blockquote dir="auto">
<p>SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0 are considered broken [RFC6176] [RFC7568]. Therefore these should not be used. SSL 3.0 support is expected to be completely removed from GnuTLS in the near future.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">I am not sure if you would like that. Alternatively, one could rewrite chapter 3.8 to be a chapter on the "History of GnuTLS." Or a general chapter on the different protocol versions there are. Then it would fit in with the rest of chapter 3 (Introduction to TLS). I wouldn't feel qualified to write either of these, though.</p>
