I expect the goal should be "Work reasonably well for 99.999(pick your length)% of users". While the average counts might be interesting (i.e. that firefox is closer to 30% than the often claimed penetration numbers for firefox) I don't know that precise numbers are actually very helpful for most compatibility purposes: I don't think we could ignore MSIE 5.x just because it is only 0.05% of requests from JS enabled browsers (which it is on enwp), or that we could do something different because MSIE 6.x is only 20.59% (likewise). _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
