Description
Every time we have a rewrite or drop support for some browser we engage (at least in Core) in discussion of how to properly write those support comments:
Support: IE8<9
IE8+
IE11<
...
We need clear understanding of how to write those comments, so we can leave those discussion behind and focus on code instead of flaming the pull/issue thread with pointless posts.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by reviewing the issue's 81-comment discussion to understand the unresolved conventions around support comments such as “Support: IE8<9” and “IE8+”. Done means reaching a clear agreement and documenting one consistent style for browser support comments.
