Comment(by pross):

 Replying to [comment:1 ericmann]:
 > Considering IE for Mac was discontinued in 2003 and official support
 ended in 2005, do we really need to maintain an `$is_macIE` variable?
 I dont know, I didnt add `$is_macIE` maybe it should be removed if it is
 no longer used.

 > Also, IE versions make more sense from a theme (CSS & JS) perspective
 ... not from a server (PHP) perspective.  What's the reasoning for adding
 an IE version variable to core?
 To enable theme authors to send version specific css, or even different
 doctypes html5 for example. At least the option would be there.
