Here are some more numbers I've gotten for IE7 usage from various libraries:

Public library in Indiana, USA: 1%
Academic library in Ontario, Canada: 1.44%
Academic library in Michigan, USA: 0.8%
Public library in Michigan, USA:  0.8%

Koha's own website recorded the following proportion of visits in the past
30 days:

IE7: 0.29%
FF3.6: 0.59%

I think thus far the numbers are bearing out that IE7 isn't another IE6
(i.e., the browser that refused to go away for the longest time).  The
sorts of corporate libraries who are still on Windows XP due to IT mandate
will also be the places whose IT departments are more likely to take the
EOL announcement seriously.

As far as 3.16 is concerned, if a Koha library, for whatever local reasons,
has a high number of IE7 users and simply cannot get them to switch
quickly, the prog theme will still be available, albeit deprecated.

I did find this delightful bit of humor while composing this email:

Galen
