 #
 # As of this writing there are a few magnitudes more packages depending on
 # cacert than on nss.
+#
+# If the current nixpkgs revision contains the attribute `nss_latest` that will
+# be used instead of `nss`. This is done to help the stable branch maintenance
+# where (usually) after branch-off during the first Firefox upgrade that
+# requries a new NSS version that attribute is introduced.
+# By having this change in the unstable branch we can safely carry it from
+# release to release without requiring more backport churn on those doing the
+# stable maintenance.
