Who cares about IE and Edge? I won't use those browsers except as an absolute last resort.
You and I wouldn't use them except as a last resort, but some newcomers to Linux who want to join Luv might. Ultimately, this is not a matter of our preferences but of ensuring that people who visit the Web site via TLS can use it.
I agree, but will people who attend our meetings be using them?
Windows mobile doesn't have enough users to care about.
Again, who cares?
The said users care.
The number of iPhone users at LUV meetings seems a lot lower than the general population. People who use Windows phone are demonstrating a committment to MS that's much greater than average, unlike iPhone the Windows phone has little going for it. Will we have a user of an old Windows phone attending our meeting and if so will they actually expect things to work on a Windows phone?
I won't do much on a mobile browser when most things can wait for a desktop browser and I can lock down a desktop browser much more and have it operate much more securely.
Your preferences aren't universal.
Given that TLS is now required by luv.asn.au, I think a backward-compatible approach is appropriate. Arbitrarily excluding users of software that one doesn't like sends the wrong kind of message.
True. But eventually they need to upgrade and other web sites are going to demand string connections too. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
