Yeah, all these functions were deprecated long ago, (I believe it was in 
NSS 2.7) when newer more capable functions were written to replace them.  
We announced they would not be supported in NSS 3.0.

When we released NSS 3.0, we effectively removed them from the public API
by ifdeffing their declarations in ssl.h.  Finally in NSS 3.2, when we 
started to use shared libraries, we excluded them from the list of exported
symbols.

I suppose the declarations of those old functions should now be removed 
entirely from ssl.h, and their implementations removed from the ssl sources.

The bug assignee is inactive on Bugzilla, so the assignee is being reset.
