I think we should only add new non-functional stubs if one of a couple
conditions is met:

* The stub is important for making progress in some other part of the
  library

* The stub is needed for compiling some important Java program, which
  can then be used with gcj (meaning that the stubbed code isn't
  actually used at runtime, in at least one actually-useful
  configuration).

How does that sound?  I know that's a change from what we've usually
done.
