I'm speaking a bit "ignorantly" here.. but...

Really the only RSLs that are "Dead" are the ones signed by Adobe and cached across domains by the Flash Player. You can still use RSLs on your own domain (and the will even be cached), right?

And even if the Adobe server/cached RSLs are not able to be loaded for whatever reason, won't the Flash Player fall back on the "local" RSLs which we distribute in the same directory of our Flex application?

 Or have I greatly misunderstood the technology?

What scares the bejesus out of me is when I remember what happened to all
  Flashbuilder beta apps a couple of years back.

Is my phone going to suddenly go nuts with clients who's apps
simultaneously stopped working cause somebody at adobe to into a twist and
pulled the server?

Seriously considering avoiding RSL's for the immediate future,,,

  That is inaccurate.  It'll be supported in Chrome; and
if other browsers implement the new plugin API; those can be
supported to.

For people whose business is
selling Flex apps to Linux users, this is of course
very bad news.
  Do such people exist?

The future of the Flash player for Windows and Mac
seems as assured as
everything can be when dealing with proprietary
systems. Likewise with Flex
on AIR for iOS and Android. So what benefit would there
be in developing
HTML5 targets for these OS's?
  Because people have no faith in Adobe; and want Flex to
outlive a dependency on a proprietary runtime.
