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.)
If other packages depend on the removed code or APIs, a nspr-version-4 package could be introduced, and those requiring nspr-4 could link to that package, instead to the most recent version. Or alternatively, they could make adjustments to avoid the dependencies on the removed code.
This again. I think it would be perfectly reasonable for most current non-Gecko users of NSPR to remain on version 4.
