"We're not cool enough" is a pretty awesome customer service position to take, if only because they later added IE6 compatibility. It would come across as dishonest and passive-aggressive if they were using it to badger their customers into upgrading to a better browser.
Also, when 25% of their traffic is still IE6, it's a hard sell to tell the client to just 'forget' those users.
I'd say the majority of us web people aren't working for sites as large and important as Facebook -- thus, we can't dictate anything to our users. We can, however, benefit from the anti-IE6 momentum they create.
Killing IE6 has to start from the top.
