If not, then I'd question the value of having PAL at all, as we really don't need a separate PAL on top of the platform abstraction library we already have under in Source/WebCore/platform.

I think everything in WebCore/platform should be moved to PAL.

WTF should only be for things JSC needs, which is nothing inside WebCore/platform.

If JSC later needs something that is in PAL, we can move it from PAL to WTF as needed.
