Huh.
So do you think it's better for most users if they can fix bugs faster, respond to support requests faster, build new products, add new features (<gasp>) etc? I think it is. And I think blowing off IE6 will allow them to server other folks better.
Time is always allocated somewhere-- the time they save by giving up IE6 support can go to more constructive/forward thinking pursuits.
Only 37s has access to their web stats-- if ie6 is vanishingly small within their paying userbase, it's a smart move.
