End of support for OS X 10.4 and 10.5

Why pull support and remove functionality? Why not just drop support -- just stop updating the app but still allow basic functionality? There are still a lot of legacy machines that are still in use ...

Copied from a different thread:

The suggestion is that I upgrade the operating system but I cannot upgrade the operating system without losing essential functionality required to maintain long life IP.

I would anticipate that new Dropbox features might require a later operating system. However I do not need any additional features within Dropbox, I do not need updates, I just need to maintain the existing basic system working as it is.

I believe the policy of remotely disabling existing functioning software should be reconsidered.
