LOTS of people (like my whole family) use Netscape 4.7 and have no
intention of upgrading it... it may be old but it's hardly obsolete, and
I would suggest that it is not good policy to deliberately make the
pedia inaccessible to ANY major browser. I know that certain sites on
the internet are not usable in netscape and while I started running
different browsers to get to them but it's too much effort and wastes
too much time so they just don't get used. 

You want the wikipedia to have MAXIMUM availability, not to lock out
about 30% of the internet using population.
