on legacy dependencies

FYI,

We have been discussing a particular issue in the curl security team recently
and based on this context, I want us to draw this line in the sand for the
future, for when we no longer consider problems to be curl security problems
when a "legacy dependency" is needed to tigger them.

I've created a PR to this effect, tryingto define what such a "legacy
dependency" could be:

https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/16086

I'll welcome help and feedback.

(The exact details of the particular issue that triggered this will be
disclosed at a later time.)
