If I want to do things on Wikipedia from Lynx [0] I
should
be able to do as much as Lynx supports, not less because my useragent doesn't
match something that we support.
Also if we cut lynx support Jidini will come and kill us in our sleep.

On a serious note, I agree with what others have said about making
sure that there is a link that you can click and get to an edit form
that will submit on essentially all browsers is not hard and something
that should always work. More fancy features don't need to work on all
browsers. Personally doing something like support last two latest
versions of browser X doesn't really make sense to me. We should
support what people use. If no one uses latest and greatest browser X,
we shouldn't bother with it. If (a significant number of) people are
still using firefox 3.5 for some unknown reason, we should still
support it. Thus I think we should stick to using percentages, perhaps
with varying levels of support for different percentages. I'm really
unclear on what benefit we would get from declaring a list of
supported browsers [that are somewhat unrelated to viewership
percentages] instead of directly looking at the user-agent statistics.
