Hey, was there a bump in the version requirements on NSS for ESR? This 
is a serious problem for us. It takes us a month or so go get new 
versions of NSS through our release process, so we need that runway 
before we can pick up a new version of NSS. Dumping new requirements of 
ESR makes it impossible for us to really plan that landing, as well as 
makes it impossible to meet our new ESR release requirements before the 
old ESR runs out.

Do you know what requirements forced the bump. Can we get dispensation 
to release with the older version of NSS. Also I'm not seeing a release 
announcement for NSS 3.68, so there's no record of what the changes were.

Please, in the future, do not pick up new version of NSS into ESR once 
the schedule is made. It's better for us to pick up individual fixes 
than rebase to a new version, and if you need to, please give us lots of 
warning.

Thanks,


bob
