@Karl: Just wishing them away is not going to happen. People hang on to
phone, tablets and computers they bought for as long as possible and most
won't (and sometimes cannot) update the browser. There are actually plenty
cases where people cant update browsers: when it's a company device, or
because they bought an Android that was modified by the OEM or Network
provider and will never get latest releases of Android (and thus Webview
that supports Polymer hybrid Mobile Apps), or because it would perform too
slowly if they updated to the latest version of the OS...
So old browsers will fade away only as users stop using their devices.
Developers will rarely adopt a product that only fits less than the vast
majority of their users. This is why Polymer would only -- in my opinion --
get adopted in 3 to 5 years if it only supports evergreen/modern browsers...

I really like the suggestion about using Crosswalk along with Polymer (
https://crosswalk-project.org/#documentation/cordova). If I ever decide to
use Polymer, that's the first thing I would look into to see if using
Crosswalk we can achieve decent browser support for our users.
