Several people heavily involved in the TLS standards process are at
Mozilla and work on NSS. NSS and BoringSSL are both getting TLS 1.3
implementations that are being tested and debugged, and those
implementations' findings are fed back into the standards work. Even
if the same is true for rust-tls, it does not seem to be an advantage.

At least with TLS 1.3 implementations the age concern mostly goes
away. They will all be brand new and contain bugs, but at least the
Rust code shouldn't have memory bugs.
