 The same attack applies to NSS. A while back I submitted a bug and
 patch for NSS, but it has been languishing in Bugzilla without any
 attention. While the use of ECC in deployed TLS environments is quite
 low, it's still probably a good idea to get the code patched. Perhaps
 someone will take a look at this forlorn bug and patch?

I do not think any NSS-based products from any of the NSS maintainers enable 
binary ECC. That is one of the main factors why the bug isn't getting any 
attention.

Should we just remove all the non-suite-B ECC support, since it isn't being 
maintained?
