Default Should We Still Be Coding For <= IE 6 ?!?!

Will their ever be a point in life where you can build your website and make it look great in all browsers and just completely forget about making it look right in IE 6 and below?

I think people have stopped caring about <= IE 5.5 and I hope that happens with IE 6 soon because they already have IE 7 and IE 8 is in BETA stages.

Is it still relevant to build for IE 6 anymore, or should it be left alone and only focused to look right in IE 7?

Would it be reasonable to use some Javascript to detect the browser being used, and if it's <= IE 6, then a message is clearly displayed to upgrade or switch browsers to get a better experience.

Does anyone else have any views or opinions on this subject?
