I find it worse than that. Just over a year ago, Martin Rex said, about
an upgrade to a different IETF server,
"Using IE6 to test a web page is perfectly reasonable.
If it doesn't work in IE6, it uses more complex/esoteric features
than what is necessary and should be used in the first place.
I understand, and once upon a time that was very true, but I think by this point in browser history time, its closer to IE9 as a minimum for the windows world of end user support.
According to this, we should support at least IE8:

+1 Good market information to have.
I recall, programming wise, IE9/IE8 was pretty compatible.
Programming sites like W3schools.com show a 1.1% IE8 as of March, 2015:
http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_explorer.asp
Keep in mind that programmers visiting this WC3school site are
probably part of their stats collection. So the IETF can also collect
the stats to see what browsers most IETF participants use.
And for similar reasons Safari 7.1, and if we care about mobile, Safari 3.1 for iOS and Android browser 3.1.
Its hard and costly to single source the development for all. But it
has been done.
