It is a deliberate decision to tackle libpkix and shareable database
with full force in NSS 3.12.  They're at the foundation of NSS and
we've put them off for too long.

If we keep working on small, interesting features, we'll never
have time to finish big, important pieces such as libpkix and
shareable database.  It is the recognition of this "time
management" fact that led to the decision of leaving several
SSL enhancements out in NSS 3.12.

We always appreciate contribution of patches from outside
the NSS team.  For example, we received a contribution
of the Camellia cipher suites for TLS:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=361025
which has been integrated into NSS 3.12, and more
recently a contribution of the TLS session ticket extension:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=403563
I look forward to receiving more contributions.
