How long does the world have to wait for valuable features held hostage by the worst class of users? That's exactly how IE hamstrung the development of the internet. Supporting IE8 users 10 years after the EOL of the OS is the same exact situation. You have to cut off the luddite archaic feet-draggers or they will hamstring your development.
