Can you stop support for IE 6 when designing web sites

Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) has been realesed by Microsft recently and IE 7 was there for sometime now.
Does this mean that we can stop support for IE 6 when we design web sites.
IE 6 has many bugs that make web developer's life a living hell.
Sadly we cannot stop support since majority of people still use IE 6.
According to StatCounter Global Stats 24.22% users all around the world use IE6 (01 Jul 2008 to 17 Apr 2009).
