- onion2k 7y agoSure, which is exactly why I said I'd expect at least an occasional update to a readme to say the framework has been tested and still works. More broadly for web dev though, the fact a feature isn't available in old browsers is a bad a reason not to use a new feature if it's useful and improves a site for the user. Obviously you shouldn't break your site in old browsers but progressively enhancing to take advantage of things is a very good thing. Browsers implemented @supports in CSS for precisely this reason.
