I vote against dropping IE6 support.

My rationale is a sad one: many enterprise clients in the Netherlands 
(think governments, education institutes, healthcare, and the like) 
typically have a locked-down and out-of-date workstation. Though they 
aren't likely to run Radiant for their main web presence, many smaller 
internal groups can benefit from Radiant.

Only recently did one of my government clients upgrade from Windows 2000 
and IE6 to Windows Vista and IE7. Many more will follow suit, but for 
now I would suggest keeping IE6 support around for one more major 
release.

Keeping it around for one more major release also provides room for 
giving a deprecation announcement so developers can phase it out. And 
who knows, somebody might actually pick up maintainership if he feels a 
pressing need...
