Why did we create a nss-3.90 branch?

[Robert Relyea]

Shouldn't it have been NSS-3.122?

Firefox is extending support for ESR 115 (which uses 3.90). So we're backporting the current version of the builtin roots module / certdata.txt.

OK, I looked like it was somehow taging the current branch, but if I update NSS_3_90_BRANCH I only get the back port.

Could we have announments on the dev-tech-crypto or nss-dev like this?
