I'd vote (as a service provider admin) to either leave IE8 support intact, make the IE8 compatibility stuff a selectable plugin for people who need to continue to support XP users, or as a last option declare a stable "legacy support" version that'd get no feature and only security (if necessary) updates through some defined date (12/31/2015?).
We "marked" 1.0 as LTS and I think we'll support it for so long. The IE8 support drop is planned for future versions (and 1.1 will be released somewhere around a new year).
One of our larger customers is an ISP in India, and an alarming percentage of their userbase is on IE8 still, and I don't foresee that changing in the next several months.
So, we'll most likely create an official plugin hoping people interested will provide feedback/support/fixes for it.
