ClipboardAction uses addEventListener and removeEventListener methods, which are not supported in IE8.

clipboard.js already contains component-events module that can be used to resolve this issue.

Why support something that will be unsupported in a couple of months?

As a web developer I could not care less whether it is supported or not. The question that matters to me is “Will it still be used by a significant number of people in a couple of months?”

Extrapolating stats for last three years: sure as hell it will be.

I think the bigger issue will be that getters and setters don’t work in IE8, so this code will need to be refactored slightly (to use setAction and getAction methods, rather than a property).
