That doesn’t change what the sites you build in MODx support on the front end. Heck you could support IE5 or NN4 if you so choose using Revo on the front end.
Sad thing is
Revo’s installer can not even run on IE 6.
MODx is a back-end oriented content-management, right?
There is NO (even one!) "official" add-on for front-end management.
I mean
management, not content/blogging system.

I loathe IE6, too, and can’t wait to see it drop off the face of the planet. Unfortunately, it’s still quite prevalent in many parts of the world. A site’s traffic and business goals should determine whether or not IE6 support is done.
The IE 6 domination followed the Win XP’s success story when it’s started to be bundled inside the OS.
Worst story is even some parts of the word still use
Win ’98, right? (C’mon, guys... please use Linux if you can’t afford XP).
Perhaps this w3schools.com ’s "
Web Statistics and Trends" can show the real game.
EDIT:
Another better fact, Microsoft will end its support to IE6 on 13-Jul-2010.
While Microsoft tries to move on to campaign the IE 8, we stuck with this garbage.
Q: Why don’t people change?
A: Because they just don’t know that they SHOULD change and there ARE other options.
The web standard development is not their attention.
As a web technologist, we
obligate to show the path, following these top
10 alexa rankings actions:
1.
Google
2.
Facebook
3.
Yahoo
4.
Youtube
5. Windows Live (i believe it is as same as MSN network below?)
6.
Wikipedia
7. Blogger.com (same as google above?)
8. Baidu.com (Chinese search engine, perhaps doesn’t effected much)
9.
Microsoft Network (MSN)
10. yahoo.co.jp (same as yahoo?)
20.
Even Microsoft itself.
You know what?
Wordpress has already have
its plugin to annoy IE 6 users.

I’m a fan of the Smashingmag approach Susan pointed out.
You should start considering to put
modxcms out of this swamp area, just like Revo declares its minimum requirement > PHP 5.1.x.
Ow, last but not least, found this better code
:
<!--[if IE 6]><script>window.close();</script><![endif]-->
