To all concerned,

Support for ssl2 will be disabled in NSS. Refer to the to the Mozilla page with 
a list of sites [1] and the fedora bug [2] filed to disable SSL2 at build time. 
Upstream NSS will disable SSL2 perhaps as early as September of this year. Red 
Hat has had SSL2 disabled at built time since RHEL-7.0 which was released in 
the summer of last year. There have been no complaints so far. The plan was 
originally to disable it in Fedora but that wasn't possible as at that time 
which was late 2013. Then rhel-7.0 was about to enter beta but fedora 20 was 
late in the beta stage and it didn't seem prudent to introduce potentially 
disturbing changes so late in the development cycle. Now we can finally do it 
and is way in advance of when we may get it from upstream and gives packages 
maintainers sufficient of lead time to deal with any sites that may still be 
using SSL2.
