+### IE 9 and 10 support
+Support for IE 9 and 10 has been deprecated and will be removed in a future version.
+Supporting outdated browsers like these increases bundle size, code complexity, and test load, and also requires time and effort that could be spent on improvements to the framework.
+For example, fixing issues can be more difficult, as a straightforward fix for modern browsers could break old ones that have quirks due to not receiving updates from vendors.
+
+The final decision was made on three key points:
+* __Vendor support__: Microsoft dropped support of IE 9 and 10 on 1/12/16, meaning they no longer provide security updates or technical support.
+* __Usage statistics__: We looked at usage trends for IE 9 and 10 from various sources and all indicated that usage percentages were extremely small (fractions of 1%).
+* __Feedback from partners__: We also reached out to some of our Angular customers and none expressed concern about dropping IE 9 and 10 support.
