The "near dead technology" is in fact quite widely used.  Until HTML 5 
support has been reliably available for several years, web sites will 
continue to depend on Flash.  It costs money to develop new web sites.

Sites catering the cell phones are the ones which will dump Flash 
first.

Regardless, there are still many things more important than the Flash 
support.  Assuring that basic desktop features work and that recent 
versions of popular applications work with the desktop is more 
important.
