We are currently in the process of creating and integrating a unified Rust language binding for NSS (nss-rs hereafter). Eventually, all Rust usage of NSS should through that crate. For simplicity's sake we would like that crate to be named "nss". However, currently rc_crypto has a support library that has that very name, which prevents us from vendoring the new crate into Firefox. Currently, the workaround is to name it "nss-rs".
Optimally, the nss crate in rc_crypto would be replaced by nss-rs as soon as possible, which would allow us to change nss-rs' name to "nss". Assuming that this transition will take some time and engineering effort, the next best option is to rename the the nss crate in rc_crypto to resolve the naming conflict.
This issue is also tracked on GitHub.
