It's causing more and more hacks. The biggest change for AngularJS support will be that version 1.2 will be dropped, as they dropped IE8 support in 1.3.
Here's a checklist of things to change in the source once the IE8 support gets dropped:
[ ] Trailing commas: Change JSCS config from disallowTrailingComma to requireTrailingComma with ignoreSingleLine and ignoreSingleValue.
[ ] Pollyfills: Remove code with TODO: IE8:
[ ] SauceLabs: Remove SL_IE_8 from karma.conf.js and Gruntfile.js
[ ] Angular: Remove 1.2 from Gruntfile.js and update bower.json to ^1.3.0
If we at least could rely on es5-shim being present we could drop a few polyfills. But AngularJS doesn't require it so it might be unbalanced. The biggest gain would be dropping Angular 1.2 support either way.
