Draft Design Doc posted by Ryan Sleevi regarding Chrome migrating from

"Switching to OpenSSL, however, has the opportunity to bring
significant performance and stability advantages to iOS, Mac, Windows,
and ChromeOS immediately out of the gate. Switching Linux to use
OpenSSL will take longer, due to the desire to continue to support
PKCS#11-based smart card authentication, which will require more work.
The biggest risk/cost to such a switch is no longer being able to help
Firefox benefit from these efforts, nor benefiting from Firefox’s
efforts in these areas."

Strange that "PKCS#11 support" is listed as a "con" for NSS .
