NSS is more complicated, for a lot of reasons. As I recall, it handles its own keystore which it doesn't share with other implementations (e.g. the ca-certificates package in Ubuntu/Debian); it requires you to initialize the keystore manually and teardown when you're done, but sometimes you don't know if anything else has done the initialization, so you don't know if it's safe for you to tear it down.
There are other issues as well; not blocking problems necessarily, but reasons why it might not be a great implementation or why it would break the way current SSL works for distro maintainers and users.
