OK, I see now, the update on NSS isn't yet part of a release, and this
NSS release will need to be merged into Firefox codebase before
https://curl.se/docs/caextract.html can make the december update
available (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1733003)

So in a sense, the CA extract is tied to a NSS release. Good to know.

Then, the approximate date of the next update could probably be found there:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/NSS:Release_Versions#Future_Releases

No problem. Thanks to  your reply, I know, it's run at a fixed time, not
a fixed delay after an update on Mozilla side.
