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 ...

Please do not cut functionality for OS X 10.4 and 10.5 -- I use dropbox primarily because it makes my workflow seamless between my work Windows PC, my Android phone, and my home Powerbook G4. PowerPC macs, which cannot upgrade beyond 10.5, were built with quality and longevity; making them useful computers for years to come! I know that a company like Dropbox must cater to tens of millions of users; but please don't leave out the thousands of users who continue to enjoy and rely on their PowerPC macs.
