Currently, Internet Explorer represents ~5% traffic on eclipse.org, and less than 1% of total traffic in the past year for many of the other properties that we manage (IoT, Jakarta.EE, openhwgroup). Launching in 2013, this browser still sees regular usage but has become a roadblock to modernizing our framework.
I believe that the best way to support our users and modernizing our framework would be to deprecate support. We can use a small bit of JS to inject a small toast notification on IE browsers announcing our plan to deprecate support in the near future. This way, we can start the process of modernizing internally soon, and give users time to react to the change in support.
