I’d like to update everyone on the status of this Microsoft root inclusion 
request:

After it was approved, Kathleen filed bug #1582254 [1] requesting that these 
four roots be added to NSS. Then it was pointed out in a different 
mozilla.dev.security.policy thread [2] that the roots submitted for inclusion 
contained a null character at the end of the CPS URI. In response, Microsoft 
filed incident bug #1598390 [3], and in that bug it was further pointed out 
that the same problem affected intermediates in the hierarchy. Microsoft 
decided to remediate the problem by creating new roots and intermediates to 
replace the affected certificates. I have recommended in bug #1582254 [1] that 
Mozilla proceed with the addition of the corrected roots to NSS.
