I am starting to lean towards this person's opinion. Combining all the BlackBerry platforms into one is starting to become heavy.
Clearly RIM is not looking to support BB 5, 6 and 7 moving forward. Everything coming from RIM is 100% focused on BB 10. At what point should we consider sunsetting support for the older BB OS revisions? We are already talking about removing iOS 4.3 support; why not open dialogue for doing something similar on BB?
