No. Doing that means you lose any chance of getting Evo/Gecko into some financial institutions/government agencies.
One of the major points of using NSS is that it has undergone FIPS validation[1] three times by NIST and is currently in process of getting a fourth validation. It's had years of documented testing and certification and this is a major selling point to some people. Using NSS grants you this certification automatically, so I'd say that apps should start using NSS.
