the latter.

Full disclosure: I'm treating NSPR as a bit of a trial balloon in this spac=
e. I think longer-term we'll want to discuss a similar effort for NSS. I un=
derstand that this will be a much more complicated discussion (also within =
Mozilla), because there are more direct users of NSS than of NSPR (which as=
 you say is mostly consumed as a dependency of NSS.) But let's cross that b=
ridge when we got to it, which definitely won't be for months and likely no=
t even in 2026.

Thanks,
Lars
