What browsers are supported for using the admin?
------------------------------------------------
The admin provides a fully-functional experience to `YUI's A-grade`_ browsers,
with the notable exception of IE6, which is not supported.
There *may* be minor stylistic differences between supported browsers—for
example, some browsers may not support rounded corners. These are considered
acceptable variations in rendering.

Supported browsers for the admin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Django hasn't had a clear policy on which browsers are supported for using the
admin app. Django's new policy formalizes existing practices: `YUI's A-grade`_
browsers should provide a fully-functional admin experience, with the notable
exception of IE6, which is no longer supported.
Released over ten years ago, IE6 imposes many limitations on modern web
development. The practical implications of this policy are that contributors
are free to improve the admin without consideration for these limitations.
This new policy **has no impact** on development outside of the admin. Users of
Django are free to develop webapps compatible with any range of browsers.
