Where did Google say they wouldn't test it in IE6?

AFAICT, they're not going to let it become unusable for IE6 users. That would be silly, because they could just create a IE6-only stylesheet with "display: none" for everything on the page except the Flash video player. A lot of users would actually consider that a significant improvement.

They have made Adwords pretty much unusable in IE6 but they are unlikely to make a user-centric site like Youtube unusable.

There is this lightbulb you can click that sort of does that. I think it's a relatively new feature.
