RE: [xymon] OK to drop IE6 support in 4.3.0 ?

[<Larry.Sherman (at) rbs.com>]

I hate to admit it, but where I work, IE 6 is still the standard.  Many vendor apps rely on it, as well as some of our internal ones.  I must image that at larger, more bureaucratic institutions, the same may be true....

However, it is a very small subset of users that view Xymon, and those are capable of remembering to launch a different/newer/standards based browser......

That is 6% of the world.  The people using Xymon are less then 6% I'm sure.  XP is the oldest OS anyone should be using which means you can use IE 8 or 9.

I say don't break 6 but don't do much of anything to make it work.
