Maybe we should do the same - introduce bugs that will cause subtle breakages on browsers we'd rather not go out of our way to specifically support any longer, and see if anyone'll actually complain. :)
People are really bad at complaining, especially web users. We've had prolonged obvious glitches which must have effected hundreds of thousands of people and maybe we get a couple of reports.
