If you turn off Javascript and cookies, a ton of sites that serve what at least could be static content and which you don't need to log into simply stop working.

What happened to graceful degradation? Is it not agile enough to expect a server to be able to work at least minimally with any browser?

It is my belief graceful degradation got discarded when the "ditch ie6 movement" began to get full over-blown coverage.
