IE version 11 supports it and runs on Windows 7+ (all supported

Who cares about IE and Edge? I won't use those browsers except as an
absolute last resort.
You and I wouldn't use them except as a last resort, but some newcomers to
Linux who want to join Luv might. Ultimately, this is not a matter of our
preferences but of ensuring that people who visit the Web site via TLS can use
it.
Windows mobile doesn't have enough users to care about.
Again, who cares?
The said users care.
I won't do much on a mobile browser when most things can wait for a
desktop browser and I can lock down a desktop browser much more and
have it operate much more securely.
Your preferences aren't universal.
Given that TLS is now required by luv.asn.au, I think a backward-compatible
approach is appropriate. Arbitrarily excluding users of software that one
doesn't like sends the wrong kind of message.
I agree with Jason here. Bringing people toward best practices should be
by education
and encouragement, not by blunt instrument.
The latter approach only reinforces the stereotypes of computer nerds
and grumpy
old grey beards, who should be given a wide berth lest they happen to
look in your
direction, and end up banging on about their favourite topic for hours
on end.

Morrie.
