Comment IE Version Code Breakdown? (Score 2) 250
Does anyone here have enough knowledge of the JQuery codebase to say how the IE-specific cruft breaks down by version?
IE6 is a monstrosity; that's pretty much a given, and IE7 isn't great either. I could see dropping support for both of those being a big win in terms of cleaning up the codebase. That said, how much do they gain by dropping IE8 as well? It was only released 3 years ago.
