There are >80 packages affected, would it be possible to give the
owners a shorter (and authoritative[1]) version, instead of asking
each maintainer to fish the information out of a bug with 135
comments?

* Can I test my package right now, before the NSS change lands?  How?
* If I need a workaround, what is the workaround?  (Do I have to set
an environment variable, or is there a way to do it in the API?  If I
do have to set an environment variable, do I have to do it at the very
start before initializing NSS?  Before opening the specific socket?
Or at a different time?)

Thank you,
