So, it's maintaining. OK, from the perspective of a web-apps platform, it could be fair to say that Flash is in “maintenance”. And that means it is fine to continue use it. The new features for web-apps should come from the Flex community, and less so the runtime. But for sure, the Flash Player team continues to make improvements in each release though, just not focused on web-apps. >Hmm, well. This effort is dead.
