Can you please clarify what you mean by "impairing"? If you're using the
Mozilla Trust Store to make decisions outside of the Mozilla purview. That
is, it has three trust bits, only one of which has an audit requirement -
namely, the Website bit requires BR AND Mozilla Policy compliance. The
Mozilla Policy compliance ALREADY requires (effectively) that all
certificates (transitively) be BR compliant. So if there is an
incompatibility in schemes, these users are already "impaired"

And Mozilla's made it clear the risks these groups run if they're using the
NSS trust store outside of NSS -
https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA:FAQ#Can_I_use_Mozilla.27s_set_of_CA_certificates.3F
- so I don't think that's a consideration the Forum should engage in, as
Mozilla's already explicitly disclaimed it.
