I think that's obvious. In all seriousness though, we may want to consider the possibility of letting users know about features they are missing out on.
If someone has a good idea of how to do this without being annoying, that would be reasonable.

I read a note before that someone caught Microsoft's Bing making a number of requests to their site with a UA that makes it look like ie6 and inflates stats. http://opengameart.org/forumtopic/dear-microsoft
Are the stats setup to differentiate between real ie6 users and bing autosurfing?
I'd be pretty surprised if Bing is generating enough traffic to noticeably affect the percentage, even if it does get counted as IE6.
