I see it more as another nail in the coffin of Flash... fewer and fewer websites are using it as a result of the biggest growth platforms - iOS never did and Android has been removed.
Sure Solaris is another niche desktop platform, but Adobe killing Flash support is hardly news. In addition, just use Evince from GNOME on any Unix-y desktop as a replacement for Adobe Reader (major failing is detailed form support, but does basic forms).
