"what is THIS bit? And why is it set on some and not others?" It's vestigial, and it should be removed simply as good housekeeping.
If this is the attitude of all of the Mozilla devs, no wonder it's impossible to figure out the codebase without devoting weeks to studying it. I humbly suggest the adoption of this rule: reduce complexity where possible, to reduce the cost of entry. It doesn't help to have a "write a patch to fix it" attitude (very common in open-source projects) when it costs appreciable time (weeks or months) to figure out the code to figure out where the problem actually is -- and this reduces the number of patches that are submitted. -Kyle H On Mon, Jan 26, 2009 at 1:15 PM, Nelson B Bolyard <nel...@bolyard.me> wrote: > Gervase Markham wrote, On 2009-01-26 05:27: >> Nelson Bolyard wrote: >>>> If it is the latter, what would be the effect of us removing the SSL >>>> Step Up trust bit in NSS for the list of roots you give? >>> No effect whatsoever. >> >> Super.
