Authentication-results: sourceware.org; auth=none

Hi all,

Could someone please elaborate on the ABI stability of glibc's NSS interface?

Nikolay (CC) and I are trying[1] to properly integrate third-party NSS modules
into NixOS[2]. We'd like to share existing modules compiled against different
versions of glibc.
Is it a safe thing to do? What are the chances of modules breaking that way for
updated versions of glibc?
