And I would hope NOT. NS has better things to do with their time than
fix 3 year old software. Standard policy in software is to drop support
for stuff more than 18 months old. And that's a GOOD think IMHO.
By your own admission (the stats you posted), hardly anyone is using it.
Note that I can talk out of both sides of my mouth on this, I do feel
that HTML writers should be backward compatible... but not expect bugs
in older software to be fixed, and after a certain point, cut their
losses.
