The specific issue is US companies that provide patches for current product releases. New ciphers require a new export approval and such approvals usually align with new feature releases. Thus adding a cipher removes the ability to provide NSS updates in a patch. I believe this would impact US companies exporting a product that bundles or packages NSS.
