Before there is more discussion on this, would it be possible for us
to get a list of problems that have arisen due to support for IE6? I
don't really have a frame of reference for how much work it is to
maintain support. I personally think the best course of action would
be to extract any IE6-specific support in an extension that way those
that need it can have it with future versions of Radiant and help
maintain it themselves.

Would anyone be left out if Radiant failed to support IE 6?
I vote against dropping IE6 support.
My rationale is a sad one: many enterprise clients in the Netherlands
(think governments, education institutes, healthcare, and the like)
typically have a locked-down and out-of-date workstation. Though they
aren't likely to run Radiant for their main web presence, many smaller
internal groups can benefit from Radiant.
Only recently did one of my government clients upgrade from Windows
2000
and IE6 to Windows Vista and IE7. Many more will follow suit, but for
now I would suggest keeping IE6 support around for one more major
release.
Keeping it around for one more major release also provides room for
giving a deprecation announcement so developers can phase it out. And
who knows, somebody might actually pick up maintainership if he
feels a
pressing need...
