May I suggest an intermediate release with GCM under LGPLv2+? That would ensure that current applications using gnutls can use that code.
An all-LGPL release is not possible until the serpent code is replaced, so any releases before that would use the current licensing terms (GPL as a whole, certain parts under more permissive license). So I'm not sure exactly what you are suggesting.
I thought the GPL part applies only to the parts that are GPL and not to the whole library. In any case would you suggest gnutls using nettle a la lsh, i.e. include it as a static library? That way we can eliminate licensing issues by removing the GPL parts.
