FWIW I don't care much about "a little bit of space saving".

I've been advocating that we build curl against something other than
NSS for a long time, given that it violates our packaging guidelines
because NSS doesn't properly integrate with the p11-kit configured
tokens and doesn't support RFC7512 — and nss-pem fails to support lots
of key files.

I was thinking of GnuTLS though, which AUIU *would* have supported the
non-trivial trust metadata because it uses p11-kit-trust.so/libnssckbi
just like NSS does.

I'm not sure what reasoning there was for switching to OpenSSL instead
of GnuTLS...?
