I have no problem with legacy software not being supported after a time. It's the extra space that automatically-downloaded stuff takes up on the device that makes me a bit uncomfortable. As i pointed out somewhere else, I first had to download IoS7 and then install it. There was no "automatic" factor in my experience. however, if folks are getting automatic 3-gig downloads without asking for them, then it leads me to wonder if there's a setting that one could disable for doing this.
