I am a little bit concerned about dropping Windows 2000 given that
Gecko 1.9.2 will be released when W2K will still be supported by
Microsoft for a few months.

On the other hand, its global market share is steadily declining and
already very low according to the market share reports from Gemius,
StatCounter and Net Applications.

Do we have any reliable numbers from our own download and AMO
statistics on the percentage of users, which are still using W2K?
I think this discussion would benefit from those numbers.
