Another vote for keeping the feature or at least grandfathering the old links.

Adding my voice to this: Cutting public folders is a terrible move. The public folder feature is literally the last feature Dropbox has keeping me on their service. Nearly every other cloud file hosting/sharing/syncing provider out there provides more storage for less cost, and are nearly feature-complete compared to Dropbox.
Please reconsider removing this feature.
