Introduced in branch: 
8.4.x
Introduced in version: 
8.4.0
Issue links: 
https://www.drupal.org/node/2842298
Description: 

As of April 2017, Internet Explorer 9 and 10 are no longer supported by Microsoft. Drupal 8.4 updated to the latest version of jQuery UI (1.12), which removed official support for Internet Explorer 9 and 10 but retains workarounds for them that will be removed in 1.13.

Drupal 8.4 is following suit and is also no longer officially supporting Internet Explorer 9 or 10 but has retained existing workarounds that will be removed in future releases of Drupal 8. As of Drupal 8.4.0, we will no longer accept public bug reports that only affect Internet Explorer 10 or below. Drupal security bugs reported through the private tracker that only affect old browser versions will be handled at security team discretion.

Existing workarounds for Internet Explorer 9 and 10 will be removed beginning in Drupal 8.5.x.

The IE9 Compatibility module (https://www.drupal.org/project/ie9) will try to maintain IE9-specific workarounds where possible.
