I have just learned that AOL will discontinue support and development of the Netscape browser. On the one hand I am sad. Options are always a good thing. On the other I am happy. Netscape was really just Firefox (lately) and was another browser to test everything with on various OS's.
So should we stop supporting Netscape officially? If so when? A quick look at my stats for the month of December tell me that Netscape users are very small in number right now, and sure to shrink further.

I guess it's the end of an era, but really it has been repackaged FF for a while.
