You are echoing my own thoughts :-) Still, I see "stop supporting IE6" discussions even for JS libraries, like it is "doing the right thing" to help evolve the web. I can understand the reasoning although I don't agree with it. So, I think it would be good if core devs could speak up on their long-term plan. Without this, browsers that you and I need to support may well be gone from the compatibility list in the next version. The only library that seems to have done this homework is BBC's Glow, whose browser deprecation decision tree seems to suggest a worst case of 2% for deprecation (although I think there is a bug in the last part of the algorithm). http://www.bbc.co.uk/guidelines/futuremedia/images/Decision_tree_for_browser_deprecation_100.pdf
