In recent times QA has expanded our automated cross-browser testing: we re-organized our builds, pointed the tests to beta labs wikis as well as test2wiki, and we've written a number of new tests. In the course of that a lot of our builds for Internet Explorer versions began to fail.
Yes, IE is particularly an issue for this, since it often requires a fair amount of specific work. However, our browser compatibility requirements in general are somewhat in limbo. James Forrester marked the guidelines at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Compatibility#Browser historical, rightly pointing out they were somewhat unrealistic (they didn't reflect what people could afford the time to actually do).
Now, we need something to replace them. This might be a case for an RFC.
