I fail to see your reasoning. IE6 was (I believe) the default in Windows XP, which people are still using. Should we demand that JQuery support every default browser on every default OS until they're all end-of-lifed?

My point is that it isn't just the browser for an ancient os that's about to be EOL. It's also the browser for the current OS. Some people seem to mistakenly think Win 7 shipped with IE9

And I didn't demand anyone do anything. I think the proposed jquery plan is totally appropriate.
