The "old" (v5.13) way of getting mail via imap/gssapi, namely adding 
       
(nnimap-stream gssapi)
(nnimap-authenticator  gssapi)

fails with the error 

> Warning: Opening nnimap server on KTH...failed: ; Unable to open
> server nnimap+KTH due to: Unknown stream type: gssapi

Perhaps this is not surprising given the docstring for nnimap-stream,
namely 

> How nnimap will talk to the IMAP server.
> Values are `ssl', `network', `starttls' or `shell'.
> The default is to try `ssl' first, and then `network'.

Does this mean gssapi is gone?  If not, how does one configure gnus to
get it to work?  (In imap.el there seems to be plenty of code handling
gssapi.)

Best,
