they simply do not have an interest in SVG at all - other than perhaps selling more authoring tools for SVG developers.
The situation before or after 2008-12-31 is more or less the same. Before and after there was no support and further development. Development more or less stopped back in 2001. Before they maybe would have reacted to security related problems in ASV, after they do not care at all. People simply should forget about Adobe in terms of SVG support. With the buy of Macromedia, management within Adobe changed a lot and they see their future in binary only, proprietary formats. They don't believe in the open nature of the web.
