- Browsing: Most pages work fine (some styling issues), but pages with
audio files cause JavaScript errors (problem in TMH).
- Editing: Throws JS error immediately (problem in RefToolbar)
Both of these errors don't occur in IE8.
Security vulnerabilities:
Secunia reports 15 out of 87 vulnerabilities as unpatched, with the most serious one being rated as "moderately critical" (which is the same as IE6, while the most serious IE8 vulnerability is rated "less critical").
Usage: <1%
Recommendation: Add to blacklist
The IE6 disable patch is in prod now. I've tested on a few wikis and have not noticed any issues - if anything, IE6 actually feels usable now when before it kept throwing errors or was just slowing to a crawl. If there are no objections, I'll do the same with IE7 after wmf19 lands on mw.org (to give us a little bit more time for any issues to be reported).
