It is a bit of a technicality. IE will not be "blocking" the Flash Player in future versions of the browser (unlike Chrome and Firefox), BUT Flash Player will no longer be distributed nor available for fresh downloads. Unless a person has the Flash Player installed, it won't be available. Additionally, it will no longer be getting patches or updates, so it will become an security issue as time goes on.
