As someone who has only recently made the move from NS4 to Mozilla, I am missing some 
of the ease of use that NS4 provided.

Having spent a fair bit of my time forcing IE / Mozilla to behave in the same logical 
fashion as NS4, I am also reluctant to drop NS4 support all together.

I am still to see any major reason for dropping NS4 support.  Most of the time it is 
someone wanting a particular "trick" that is only available in the most recent of 
browsers.

I see very little problem with adding an *extension* that is only available in recent 
browsers.  So long as they remain just that, extensions.

To continue down this path would be not unlike Mozilla dropping BeOS support because 
they can't use a M$ related feature.

If you wish to customise your own copy of the DynAPI,
then feel free to.  If you see a feature that you believe should be added, do so.  But 
to force the rest of the DynAPI users to drop NS4 support is too large a step to take 
without actually outlining the reasons for doing so.

I will now put on my fireproof helmet and await the oncoming fire front : )
