Comment (by taupecat):

 Per lancewillett in the Twenty Fourteen office hours today:

     We won't officially support IE7 but happy to make sure it's usable and
 not horribly broken.

 Meaning:

 Officially, we're going to support IE8+ only.  However, visitors coming to
 Twenty Fourteen in IE7 should see more than just a blank page.  This pulls
 us a little away from WP's core support of IE7 & up, but the task of
 fixing every IE7 bug in a theme is more onerous and time-consuming than
 core functionality.

 Bugs marked as "IE7" will mostly likely be stamped with "wontfix", however
 if the reporter also supplies a suggested patch, then that can be tested
 and applied.

 Periodically, checks will be made on IE7 to make sure we're not getting
 White Screen of Death situations (which we shouldn't anyways), but that
 will be the extent of our support during the development process.
