I doubt 33% of FPO's visitors use IE 5.5; in fact I would find it hard to believe 33% of that 33% use it. :) IE 5.5 is notorious for its security issues and rendering bugs and is very outdated at this point (I remember 'fixing' pages to play nice with IE 5.5 6 years ago.) I think supporting IE 6 and IE 7 only at this point is a quite reasonable rule of thumb and I think we've made a statement to this effect on this list before.
A test matrix for browsers wouldn't be a bad idea but it's totally in our power to say "we don't support IE5.5" or simply not do anything. One thing I like about open source is that stuff that doesn't need to get done... often doesn't. If someone doesn't care enough to fix something its a good idea to examine if its something that really needs fixing.
