Oh! …Maybe? People mentioned "Edge" in the call yesterday but I didn’t realize until now that it was MSIE under a new name.

My current stance (and please correct if I’m mistaken, y’all) is that we certainly should note versions testers use, and will instruct testers to use the most recent compatible-with-their-hardware releases of all relevant software. (Without compelling them to buy any software they don’t already have, anyway.) We’ll accept that this’ll lead to some variance, and will consider two version of the same browser on the same OS to be equivalent for basic test-coverage purposes.

(I hope that isn’t hopelessly naive? I’m just wary of exploding the height of the coverage table by adding in a new row for every dang version of everything...)
