This will force many people to stick to 1.3.x until ie6 usage will drop under a threshold (2%? 1%?). [I'm looking forward for this moment] I think this would be a risky move, because jQuery doesn't speak to people, helps the developers. You're not saying to the people "hey, your browser sucks! Use a newer one!", you're telling developers that you'll make they're life more difficult. People only want to surf the internet, and jQuery could possibly become an obstacle instead of an help. I really really hope that ie6 will disappear soon, but i don't think that jQuery now has enough power to push people towards that direction. Too many still use it at work, where they can't install or change anything. Just my two cents. --Fabio --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group.
