Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-04-07 16:24:21 UTC

Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

NSS was rebased to 3.12.9 for RHEL 6.1.

If this is already in 6.1 unless someone objects I will close this as CURRENTRELEASE.

Package was verified for the vTPM even though it was present in the previous release.  Moving to verified on our side.
