That's right.

Its main goal was to be ready in time for the EL5 release, as the upstream
1.6.3 release and module it includes weren't available yet.  Going forward, I'd
rather reuse more of the upstream module and integrate NSS at its internal
crypto abstraction points.  Beyond curiosity and compatibility with EL5 (I'm
hoping to have the time to get the other work done in the F11/F12 timeframe,
and switch to that), there's not much to be gained by moving this particular
module forward any more.

Thanks for following up on this.
