OT: Just curious, but I don't understand why anything below IE11 is a
compatibility-required target anymore.
If the argument is that it needs to be supported for legacy enterprise
clients, that seems at odds with most responsible enterprise IT policies:
technical and security updates for ie10 and older ceased 2 years ago [1]
I would expect a lack of security updates to trigger a move inside
enterprise users, even those that were 'holding back', usually this would
happen before the support is no longer available, but the 2 years since
should have addressed those users (my opinion only, did not research this -
keen to hear feedback about the 'reality' ).
If IE11 became the lowest supported MS browser for Royale then I think you
can assume things like WeakMap are available [2]  (in the case of WeakMap,
perhaps it is available 'enough' because it is only a partial
implementation with IE11). That might make porting some legacy Flex code a
lot easier, for example because (iiuc) I think that means Dictionary with
weak keys could be supported. [3] (and I know Harbs did something related
to this in the past, maybe some sort of polyfill, can't recall exactly)

Anyhow, this is not a request - just a prompt for discussion, in case it
was not asked before (or was not reviewed in the last 2 years).
I'm mentioning this here because it relates to Alex's comments below, but
if you feel it is worth pursuing as discussion, it probably warrants a new
thread.
