Comment:

 Dense as I am, I didn't realize that this was Matt's domain.  Matt
 e-mailed me and asked if I could revert the change.  I have, out of a
 desire to "un-draw" the unintentional line in the sand.  I wouldn't have
 committed it had I figured out it was his domain before.

 But still, the criticisms remain.  The site speaks of a browser landscape
 several years old in which Internet Explorer is a dead-end product.  It's
 also a bit insulting to the user to constantly be throwing that at them.
 How does this improve WordPress and the WordPress experience?  It's
 inconceivable that IE's market share is going to precipitously drop
 anytime soon, and even with 5% market share we'd have to accommodate its
 users.  It's advocating a change that (even in its most optimistic
 outcome) really wouldn't change WordPress or how WordPress development
 proceeds.
