Can't you just require specific browser implementations/versions? This
is an admin console for admins, not a user application made for your
grandma who's using the same old computer and OS version you bought her
10 years ago. Java 7 is already a requirement, can't you do the same
with a browser?
I'm asking because that's the approach we took with the Keycloak admin
console. Our user facing screens must be compatible with old browsers
where our admin console can rely on relatively modern Javascript APIs
and HTML support. Is this a bad approach to take?
Thanks

Fully agreed. Besides the reduced distribution size, this would save me 20 minutes
lifetime / per full build ;-)
