Only because I don't have any sites build in Rails that I care about
supporting older browser. I use HTML 5 markup and do my best to make it
work well for all reasonably modern browsers.

If the sites I currently have look bad for someone visiting with with
older browsers I really don't care. If I were building commercial sites
where it actually mattered then I might care more.

I don't think it's such as bad thing to not perfectly support older
browsers. The sooner we can get people to stop using them the better off
we are. I am quite aware that not everyone is in a position to be able
to do this, but thankfully for my sites it's not a major concern.
