IE 7 is only available in Windows XP, which is due to be end of life in April 2014. Any changes we make for this cycle won't be released until after XP is EOL. As noted in IRC, IE7 usage accounts for ~3% of counted browser usage. In many ways, I feel that if Microsoft is refusing to support IE7, that means we should feel ok in dropping our support for IE7 as well. XP is an outdated, and dangerous operating system to be running. Supporting IE7 feels like a vote of confidence in that platform that is undeserved. It should be noted that it was discovered that bootstrap 3 sites, though not officially supported in FF 3.6, still seem to look and work OK. --Liz
