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 ...

I have a 2011 MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard & Lion, a 2011 mini running Yosemite and my trusty workhorse PPC dual G4 running Leopard. I use 1Password on all of these, which is shared via Dropbox. It becomes a difficult and error-prone mess to lose Dropbox. There doesn't seem to be an equivalent cloud service out there for the PPC machines.

I applaud Dropbox for not being in the "force you to buy new hardware" business until now. You know how many PPC users of Dropbox there are. Must be thousands as there are hundreds blogging and signing petitions about this. You are capable of writing us en mass. What about a mailing to inquire if enough of us are willing to pony up a small fee to support a programmer to write the equivalent API-like code to keep Dropbox runnng on our machines?
