I've submitted a change to do this for MSIE6 for now. [1] It got merged quickly, but please update if I missed anything (I'll add release notes now). Provided there are no concerns with this, I'll send a note to wikitech-ambassadors@ soon, drafted here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Eloquence/MSIE6 This case seems very obvious given the unpatched vulnerabilities and lack of official support; let's discuss additional browsers/categories of browsers on a case by case basis. Timo, I also noticed that the definition of "grade C" in startup.js was inconsistent with what's on the mediawiki.org page so I updated it accordingly.
