this. The plan roughly would be to strip any code from NSPR that Gecko isn't 
currently using, and support for any platforms that are not currently Gecko 
tier platforms.

(NSPR hasn't had - IMO - have any meaningful way to test that code and those 
platforms for a while now anyway, and I'd rather not ship untested code.)

This again. I think it would be perfectly reasonable for most current non-Gecko 
users of NSPR to remain on version 4.

Thanks,
