The purpose of bundling some nettle code has been to support new functionalities in nettle without bumping the version requirement of nettle. For example, RSA-OAEP and AES-GCM-SIV are a new addition in nettle 3.9 and 3.10, while we previously supported 3.6 at minimum. If we can hard-require 4.0+ and always bump the required nettle version, that would be simpler, though it would make backporting (e.g., to RHEL-9, RHEL-8, ...) harder.
