I think this is an understatement, considering that it's a core cryptographic library. It appears to have gone through at least five audits (though none since 2010), and includes integration with hardware cryptographic accelerators.
Suggesting a tabula rasa rewrite of NSS would more likely be met with genuine concern for your mental well-being, than by incredulity or skepticism.
