For historical context see > http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/83524 and the > follow up thread > http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/83565 I've looked at the site-start.el files (both from the provided emacs and from my homebrew installation) and they do not mention gnus-util. I've started emacs with the '-q' option and I don't see it in the features variable. This may be a bug local only to my setup, but I'm not sure how to investigate it.
