I disagree completely. There are still a lot of people using IE6 in the corporate world. One place where GWT really shines is to help deliver rich in functionality, business-focused applications, given the complexity management that java gives you.. Dropping support for IE6 would be a major problem for a lot of developpers who use it to target these users as telling them to upgrade from IE6 is at this point still not an option. GIven the pressure is increasing on users to upgrade, we'll get there but a lot of people still need this support at this point and telling developpers to stop upgrading gwt would be a real annoyance.
