From my side and POV, I think the number of users who disable javascript in their browsers, is small. I know it is an ideological statement and a security precaution, maybe, but it is not practical with current state of the internet, so perhaps not many people use it (i may be wrong of course, and in this case is the edge cases which matter the most!). I know that PerlMonks site prides itself on minimal or little javascript. Rightly so. After this disclaimer, can I dare suggest banning browsers which do not support javascript? That's towards the goal of preserving the site and its accessibility to humans, the big picture. Or, if browsers do not support javascript, redirect them somewhere else. Anyway, the site feels much better now, but as Co-Rion said, that's a rat race, and we lack the long tail.
