Interestingly, the revision summary for that revision gives a link to
general browser stats, rather than Wikimedia browser stats, which are
obviously the relevant ones (although we have such high reach that
there isn't a large difference). We have stats from Nov 2009
(

were those generated by a script that could be run again? Getting some
trends could help us work out when to ditch IE6. The recent
Google/China/IE story has received lots of coverage, including the
authorities in France and Germany advising people to ditch IE
entirely, so IE6 usage has probably shown a noticeable dip.
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.
Are the stats setup to differentiate between real ie6 users and bing
autosurfing?
