A data point to prevent anchoring: the causality "only use the ES6 standard to implement new features, and thus we'll be dropping optimal support for IE11" (T178356 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T178356>'s gist; @Sarai-WMDE is just the messenger) does not exist. It is only valid in a – somewhat artificial – universe where there is no way for a computer to help us (stern look at T199004 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T199004>). However, for years, WMDE has been implementing in languages (e.g. TypeScript, less/sass) and using technologies (webpack, postcss) which allow us to have the development enviroment which makes us the most productive //and// have the browser support required at the same time – in this respect we //can// have the cake and eat it, too (with constraints, but those are not reached). (This is not an argument for or against IE support, but an argument for asking the right questions and keeping discussion chains unentangled unless combining them provides a benefit) TASK DETAIL https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T285045 EMAIL PREFERENCES https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/ To: wiese Cc: Lydia_Pintscher, karapayneWMDE, Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE, wiese, Tonina_Zhelyazkova_WMDE, Ladsgroup, Michael, egardner, AnneT, Jakob_WMDE, Sarai-WMDE, Addshore, Aklapper, Invadibot, maantietaja, Akuckartz, Nandana, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, QZanden, LawExplorer, _jensen, rosalieper, Scott_WUaS, Volker_E, Wikidata-bugs, aude, Mbch331
