Yes, and imho nss_compat_ossl is the place to do this.
But, would it be possible to update the cipher suite list in tls_m.c
first, to bring it up to date, then work on updating the compat library?
I discussed this with Kurt; the Project's policy on issues like this in the
past has been not to commit any backward-compatibility fixes of this sort
until the real fix has already been released. I.e., we should wait until
nss_compat_ossl has been updated.
