Whilst laudable (and indeed, I strive for this in my own feeble way),
some of us work in closed environments where only certain browsers are
approved. Sometimes the list is just one (Ministry of Defence
contracts spring to mind).

Personally, I'm obliged to support only IE8 and above or FF10 ESR (at
the moment, it's a moving target).

So, any extra effort to support other browsers, or other releases
comes out of our own pockets. Indeed, it's worse than that; I'm in
competition with other developers in our organisation, and if I'm less
productive than them, then I get shown the door. 

How much for Opera/Safari/Chome support now?

When insisting that we all tolerate the differences, we have to accept
that one possible difference is someone who cannot tolerate
differences, for one reason or another. :-)
