I agree :-)
...we know - now!
To quote myself from back in 2005:
"I see the arrival of IE7 as an opportunity to put IE6 amongst the
dead browsers. “Hacking the dead” is a great pass-time activity for
bored web carpenters – once the living have received proper attention."[1]
However, some may remember all the fuss back when the IE-team decided to
make that "* html" hack fail in IE7' 'standard mode'. Some clearly
wasn't prepared for the loss of what they thought was "a future-safe IE
hack", and some found it frustrating when their hacking-strategy "failed".
This will happen again, and again, and again.
