What if there's a future security update that address vulnerabilities in
them?

They were not functional in the first place. Both were just an
experiment hidden behind a switch, which was off by default. Also there
is no much sense in developing them to a working state, since Firefox
dropped any plugins other than Flash. They'll just be ignored by the
browser.

So, most probably, there won't be any updates for -libpdf and -nacl.

That would be nice. It's better to have them removed, since some other
browsers could still load other plugins. And if for some reason some
future update reintroduces those plugins again, updates would be easier.
I guess with Break/Replace it will be trickier.
