There comes a time in every products life cycle when you must choose which core products (e.g. browsers etc.) and platforms you will support.
In the case of ie6, with less than 5% of all page views (and rapidly declining), it is now a footnote so why support it at all? stats here: http://mashable.com/2010/06/01/ie6-below-5-percent/ This be-all-to-all strategy simply doesn't work. You can't possibly support all versions of all browsers without causing a horrible and unpredictable experience for users.
