Thanks :)
The current Firefox 50.x will go unsupported on Tuesday, replaced by Firefox 51.
Usually new important security fixes are contained in the new Firefox update.
Unless we want to delay Firefox 51, this update must go out earlier, or at the
same as Firefox 51.
Well, security fixes are one important point, possibly breaking things
in a stable release another one (I tend to think everything is fixed
now). Don't get me wrong, I don't want to slow down things, but NSS is a
widely used library, even in essential system components. I don't like
the idea of pushing it to stable without enough testing for some days
(lets say 4-5 days at minimum), especially as there were other issues
like non-working FreeIPA (which is fixed I guess?). First, the update
has to be pushed to testing (not happened right now) and has to arrive
@users, then they also should have some time to test. Some users like me
also test ealier by downloading the stuff from Koji, but in general that
is what we have updates-testing for. I'm a bit upset because I don't
like the idea of forcing "that has to happen until Monday" when there
might be side-effects like the one with FreeIPA. Firefox is not the only
thing in the world. If Firefox update is extremely urgent it should get
a bundled copy of nss until we have the update.
I suggest that we make a broad call for getting this update tested widely by
Monday.
Good idea! It should contain some hints what and how to test.

Christian
