Document the minimal supported version of browsers for the admin
This current FAQ entry states:
The admin provides a fully-functional experience to YUI’s A-grade browsers, with the notable exception of IE6, which is not supported.
I think it's outdated because more recent versions of IE are currently not fully supported, especially since the responsive patch.
Can we find a way to indicate something more specific without having to list versions of all possible browsers? It would be great for Django admin devs to know which JS API they can use or not.

Personally I'd be in favour of keeping this quite modern, as Curtis mentions in the discussion, perhaps the most recent couple of versions as of the release date for that particular Django version.
I'd also be in favour of using this as an impetus to clean up some of the old js, and perhaps we can even remove the old date/time picker code and rely on the browsers' native implementations.
This might frustrate users that have to target old browsers, but I think in general it should be reasonable to constrain people who use the admin to modern browsers. On the other hand, I also don't want this to be a reason for people to not update Django.
