Do you think Gov.uk should be supporting that 0.25% of users, seems like it's probably a waste of resources. Can't you just settle for graceful degradation? Is there some DDA angle (supporting screenreaders) or other mitigation that's not obvious?

It’s not about percentages, it’s about numbers. We don’t actually go out of our way to support it on pages and we don’t tell other departments to test in it, but if you’re building a pattern library it makes sense to do the hard work up front. In terms of graceful degradation, yep. In our current patterns project we’ve dropped all JS for IE7 beyond the HTML5shim.
