That's part of it but it would be better if we make sure that when we 
make modifications we also check against the popular browsers.

I am not quite sure what the version number was since this happened a 
couple of weeks back. I don't know  who gets to decide which browsers 
are going to be supported since there is no formal team or team lead. If 
this is policy I would prefer that it was documented in the wiki 
prominently rather than in some offhand mailing list post.

Having a formal team is good for other reasons too as Karsten Wade 
highlighted before. After the discussion surrounding spins and security 
page happened, I wrote a draft content and then later a reminder with no 
responses and I didn't know who to approach to follow up and it hasn't 
happened so far.
