IE is responsible for 4/5 of the bugs. Color me shocked.

Flexbugs creator here. For what it's worth, all of these bugs have been fixed in the tech preview of Internet Explorer 12. Also, my co-maintainer (Greg Whitworth) is a member of the IE team, and he's been as adamant as anyone that we educate people on the shortcomings of older IE versions, so we can all build better websites.

This isn't about assigning blame, it's about empowering developers to be able to use flexbox today.

Is IE11 really considered "old"? IMO, these fixes need to be released for IE11, because flexbox is supposed to work in IE11.

Exactly, MS should fix HTML5 bugs in IE11.

IE12 will be Win10-only (at least it won't run in Win7 as the normal support ends very soon) If the rumours are true, IE12 will come without the IE compatibility modes (IE7-10). And IE11 will ship as legacy browser next to IE11 for corporate users. So fixing the bugs in IE11 is even more important.
