At my work we just decided this week that we will no longer support IE or Edge. We won't actively block them (or show a message) and if the site works in those browser then great. But, we won't test in IE or Edge and we won't make any bug fixes just for those browsers. Frankly the number of users using those browsers (low for our site) versus the number of hours required to fix problems with those browsers (high in our experience) makes it a poor business decision to continue to support them. Though, lets face it, some of the decision also come down to a sense of Schadenfreude after all the pain MS gave to web developers for so long. I started as a web developer in 1996 and I'd be delighted if both IE and Edge went away forever.
