I was wondering when someone was going to mention something like this.

Typically I don't run into issues with users for applications I develop 
from users that don't upgrade their browsers but rather those that want 
to stay on the bleeding edge and report  an inability to use a five year 
old web application with the latest alpha release of a certain browser 
on their platform of choice (i.e. ubuntu).  In the case of an 
application which runs on a current production release browser but has 
issues with an older browser, the problem can be fixed with a browser 
upgrade.  However, when trying to satisfy the needs of those that are 
intent on using bleeding edge technology it's pretty much going to 
require modifications to the application.

I wonder how many developers even know what the most frequently used 
mobile browser is, let alone, what other mobile browsers exist and how 
they are different.
