Comment (by zakkath):

 > Not sure about this - I wonder how many plugins/themes really need this?
 What about maintaining the additional file and the increase in the overall
 package size? How long do we keep it around?

 In terms of a version, I would say probably start thinking about it for
 6.0 at the very earliest. Government sites will still need to support old
 versions of IE (e.g. The Department of Ed's FAFSA site supports IE 7)
