Comment (by aaroncampbell):

 Yes I definitely think it's worth adding.  Jane and I still need to meet
 on how it will look, but it's not going to be an "in your face" kind of
 thing.  My thoughts are a text link in the footer of admin with the
 warning.

 Also, I don't see any of the reasons you mention as very valid.  I know
 there *are* apps that only work with IE6, but that's absolutely ridiculous
 at this point.  It's time to move on.  You do NOT want your users browsing
 the web on IE 6.  If you have WordPress on an itranet that you deem safe
 for IE6, then one line of code would remove the nag:
 {{{remove_action( 'admin_footer', 'browser_upgrade_nag' );}}}

 Also, this is for less extreme cases as well.  It would tell someone on
 Firefox 3.6 that they should probably upgrade.  All in all I think it's
 refreshing to see users being nudged in the right direction.
