I understand that GWT architecture would easily allow for indefinate IE6 support. But at some point in time, the cost of adding support for IE6 when Google develops new UI components or implements features leveraging new browsers capabilities will be difficult to justify.
I am not looking for a commitment here. Just some sort of indication or roadmap entry that would provide some kind of guidance.
