Yes and yes.

IE7 ran in Windows as early as Windows 98. This means it is quite old. 
Windows 98 is no longer supported. The OS that people are most concerned 
with people still having is XP, which was IE7 by default, though, if I 
recall correctly, later versions did run in it.

April 2014 is just before the release of 3.16 in May 2014.

I feel like I'm basically agreeing with Liz. If *MICROSOFT* is dumping IE7 
and they wrote it, then perhaps we should not worry about lost support for 
it in bootstrap 3. As for FireFox, my wife is attending college here, and 
their tech support only supports FireFox 4.0 (which seems silly, but I ended 
up locking my wife's browser to not upgrade). So, I figure losing 3.6 
support is probably okay too.
