With luck, maybe that means I can finally stop caring about IE6 entirely. I'm probably not that lucky though... In any case I think Twisted should keep support for XP until extended support ends, or at least until we know what the user base looks like _after_ extended support ends. I'm not too familiar with the overhead of doing so, however, so it's not that informed of an opinion, I'm afraid. -- Kevin Horn
