Well I think it means exactly what is stated there: There will be security updates and thats it. What is to difficult to parse with that sentence? For any speculation on possibly incompatible changes I would need to ask my crystal ball. I bet that Adobe will abandon Flash for the web sooner or later. Anyway, either it works or it doesn´t. What purpose does it have to worry now, what will be in maybe a year or two - unless you want to initiate an online petition? My take: The sooner it breaks the better. The sooner webpage creater get rid of flash the better. Only pitfall in this: The Linux desktop user part of the complete web surfing community is likely still very small. So the sooner it breaks on Windows and Mac OS X even the better. I will jump up and down then there is no flash anymore on the web. Unless for historical purposes in an emulator with a big fat warning that this is how not to do web content.
