Interestingly, the revision summary for that revision gives a link to
general browser stats, rather than Wikimedia browser stats, which are
obviously the relevant ones (although we have such high reach that
there isn't a large difference). We have stats from Nov 2009
(
http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportClients.htm) -
were those generated by a script that could be run again? Getting some
trends could help us work out when to ditch IE6. The recent
Google/China/IE story has received lots of coverage, including the
authorities in France and Germany advising people to ditch IE
entirely, so IE6 usage has probably shown a noticeable dip.

Right, I did link to a general report, but it's only because I couldn't
find the Wikimedia stats offhand and I knew they were more or less
on par with the wider picture.
And more data here would be helpful. Are browsers not listed there
not tracked, or were they just too small of a percentage to include?
I'd love to know what the numbers for IE for Mac (5.2 is the latest
I believe) and Opera 6/7. These have custom stylesheets that can
be phased out as well.
