drop support for ie6, and maybe ie7 #253

According to windows windows drop support windows xp, and internet explorer release history internet explorer 6 currently unsupported, maybe it would make sense remove code for old version of internet explorer.

They still have a decent market share, and this would affect mostly non-profits. I don't think this is a good idea.

If someone has to support IE6/IE7 it means he is not interested in modern solutions as they can't use any of them in these browsers, so he can as well stay with current version of Prototype.

I agree, but that would mean prototypejs would have to leave legacy versions to download as well =p

They are all available at the Google CDN, you can put in any version in the URL back to 1.6.0 (maybe further) and get it. It’s your own personal Wayback Machine.

I dont think new modern solutions/features are the specific problem - I think more bugfixes/performance improvements/security updates would be the concern - we would have to make sure to back port any fixes into the previous versions. Not that this is a hard task but it would require more contributors to step up and help out.
