It was already announced we'll drop IE 6/7 support after 1.0. I'd like to go further and drop also support for IE8.
By dropping support I mean removing all css/js code that handles IE<=8 issues/deficiencies.
I thought, if one really cares, we could create a plugin that adds support for these versions, but personally I wouldn't spend much time on this.
Opinions?
From my point of view, this is not a good idea. Unless you want to make RC unusable for those who are still running XP and are not allowed to install FF or any other browser on their own (for instance and especially in corporate environments).

7% of our users are still using IE8, that's representative a many thousands of users for us. That said, they could use Squirrel Mail instead of Roundcube so it wouldn't be a huge problem for us if IE8 support was dropped but not everyone may have the luxury to run multiple applications for their users.
