I suppose that, on principle, you're right. In the past, I would have readily done so. But today my idealism is severely tempered by the pragmatic realization that there are now hundreds of open bugs and RFEs that I have filed, some years old, that have gone nowhere. I doubt that a few more will make any difference. MoCo can't even be bothered to make Bugzilla's patch diff tool work properly with Hg patches, and Hg is their primary repository now. When I consider the ENORMOUS push-back that I got from MoCo when I called for steps to be taken to allow me to end spam in this mailing list, a request that seemed to me to have no reasonable opposition, save from spammers, I have little remaining expectation that any requests to MoFo/MoCo that are seen as benefiting only NSS will ever come to fruition. /Nelson -- dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
