I think you should not be tensed with this Roadmap, and nobody will spend his 
time to update a timeline ... the status of the project is sufficient, perhaps 
more visible would be better. Just my opinion ;)

"But people committing, making patches and contributing will."

We agree.

No, it doesn't automatically appear there. People that are working on Flex have 
to update it, but guess what? Nobody is updating it. They're probably not 
updating it because they would rather spend their time working on Flex.
As a committer I hardly have time to mess with Flex, when I do have that time, 
I am not going to spend it playing with a Wiki. I'm going to spend it playing 
with Flex. I'm sure others feel similar, or this status page would have more 
information in it.

So if a decision maker isn't going to look for the "Status of Project" page 
then what makes you think they'll drill down the web site to search for a 
roadmap?

Yes. A roadmap isn't going to prolong the life of Flex. But people committing, 
making patches and contributing will.
