Hi Simon,

thanks for bringing up this list of dependencies.

We've talked about that briefly.

In my understanding, the intention is to remove code and APIs that it no 
longer needs in NSPR 5, regardless of other software depending on it.

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.

I'm the messenger here, so I'd like other FF developers to join the 
discussion and post their thoughts here.

Thanks,
Kai
