I wonder what motivation there was to write mozilla::pkix in (old-style) C++ — with the number of memory access bugs, why not use Rust?
@gsnedders RE 2: I'm very confident about memory safety in mozilla::pkix modulo NSS. We're only missing compiler-checked borrowed pointers.

@BRIAN_____ RE2: Yeah, quite possibly more a theoretical concern than a practical one in this case. Still, "modulo NSS" is plenty! -
@gsnedders Most uses of NSS can/will be removed over time. Then almost all (uint8_t*, size_t) will be replaced with mozilla::der::Input&.
