Comment (by Ipstenu):

 A concern about this is not just the volume of users but **who** they are.

 The people stuck on IE are often in government or financial sectors and
 are prohibited by law from upgrading things. The people who use IE 11
 aren't just your parents who won't upgrade a laptop, they're people who
 actually have no agency over this change.

 Keep in mind that any change we make that makes WP unusable for them will
 have larger consequences.

 Yes, it sucks a LOT, but having worked in financial for 14+ years before I
 ran away, they're simply not capable of upgrading, and will stay using out
 of date and insecure products because they have no choice. Whatever we do,
 we have to keep them in mind.
