[cosmo-dev] Safari 2

[Matthew Eernisse]

+1

1. It's a tiny slice of our user population
2. It's being rolled out in Software Update
3. It's not a browser that IT departments are likely to have 
standardized on (a la IE6)
4. Apple users tend to upgrade quickly
5. It will suck way less than Safari 2, so the dev/testing load should 
be lower
