Follow-up of request #12733 and request #18451
The announcement for the end of support of Internet Explorer 11 has been made a while ago. On Tuleap 12.7, Tuleap will not function at all on Internet Explorer 11. There will be "script errors" because Tuleap will ship ES2015+ code, that Internet Explorer 11 does not understand.
This request will deal with listing and cleaning up all the special adjustments that have been made to support Internet Explorer 11 over the years.
- Change the target browsers in Babel configuration to stop transpiling for IE11. This will drop most of the Babel polyfills.
- drop the DOM4 polyfill

- drop the Regenerator polyfill (async / generators)
- drop the CSS.escape polyfill
- drop the polyfills in TLP documentation
- drop the Custom Elements polyfills
- drop the Intl polyfills (

- drop the polyfillCustomEventIE11 in help dropdown (FlamingParrot)
- drop .woff fonts (in favor of .woff2)
- stop transpiling some

- drop the
navigator.msSaveBlob()
for Cross Tracker Search widget CSV export
- drop the
"Esc"
