Thanks everyone for your responses.
We have:
A. +1, +0, +0, +1, +1, +1 = 4 x (+1)
B. -0, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1 = 5 x (-1)
C. +1, +1, +1, +1, +1, +1 = 6 x (+1)
So we will:
A. Drop the support for IE10
B. Keep the support for IE11
C. Add the support for Microsoft Edge
I will update the Support page.
Thanks for your votes,
Caty

So, I’m:

B -1 for now
C +1
