The only curious thing with using "pkcs11.txt" is that is usually used
with the security databases. Per some of the manpages:

       In 2009, NSS introduced a new set of databases that are SQLite databases rather than BerkeleyDB. These new databases provide more accessibility and performance:
       •   cert9.db for certificates
       •   key4.db for keys
       •   pkcs11.txt, a listing of all of the PKCS #11 modules, contained in a new subdirectory in the security databases directory

Red Hat decided to use "nss.config" in Fedora for the system-wide policy
file, and the test at nss/tests/policy/policy.sh calls it "nss-policy".

Perhaps we should call it something different too? I don't really
understand the whole impact of this filename though, so my suggestion
may be unnecessary.
