Not take support out, but not worry about IE6. Don't test using it, don't code for it, don't pay any attention to new IE6 vulns. Just let the IE6 support die through bit-rot. If existing IE6 support code causes a problem, take it out. Over time, people who are using IE6 can decide for themselves if they want to continue using it. This method lowers our engineering cost and increases reliability. At some point in the future, ops will report that we have had no visitors using IE6 in the last few months. Then we can go on a hunt for IE6 support and actively remove it. > ________________________________________ > From: [email protected] [ [email protected]] on behalf of Tei [ [email protected]] > Sent: Friday, June 03, 2011 5:19 PM > To: Wikimedia developers > Subject: Re: [Wikitech-l] IE6 > > "This site is best viewed with Netscape Navigator 2.0 or higher. > Download Netscape Now!" > http://web.archive.org/web/19961226001115/www.cae.wisc.edu/~agnew/sp/luna.html > > It seems that these messages don't get the point of the web.
