Jetpack support breaks React-Native packager

Due to the lack of a addon-kit/timers package on NPM it is impossible to use this package on react-native, because it will fail to load the module.
Even adding a conditional require wouldn't help because the packager simply scans for all require statements and will fail.
As such, would it be possible to remove the support for Jetpack alltogether to allow this package to be used in modern environments?
Essentially removing lines 10-17 and 87 from event-queue.js .
