I develop for old browsers because it doesn't take any extra effort and 
I'll take every visitor I can get. If I mark up my content with semantic 
markup and good source order, which I do anyway because it benefits 
everyone, and just hide styles from the really old browsers, they will 
get usable pages.

I don't know anything about the site you provided stats for, but keep in 
mind that it may not be getting any hits from older browsers because 
right now it's not accessible to them. Designing only for the newest 
browsers can be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
