Obviously you don't want to require support for the latest and greatest
every 3 weeks version, hence "relatively modern". "Relatively
modern"
being, I don't know, browsers from 2010? or even 2012? Wouldn't they
have this same certification headache with Java 7 or Java 8?

FYI, I'm not trying to hijack this thread. Just trying to get input.
Are you saying drop IE8 as well? IE 9 came out in March 2011.
Browser geeks: if gecko1_8 was dropped, what's the earliest Firefox we'd
support?
I think Tomaz's proposal to drop IE 6 is a no-brainer.
