Why support it then? As long as people polyfill for safari or hack something to work, you just prolong its life and give Apple the motivation to continue the neglect. The same happened with IE6 - people complained and bitched but supported it, so the users had no reason to change. Until at some point it became more expensive to support IE than it was to lose the users (which of course, then upgraded).
