Well it kind of has stopped "working" for some time now--we've had a couple of apps just stop last year. ESRI is a bit different in that it appears to be all REST calls no matter the platform vs Google actually downloading their lib at init. So until they change the REST bits they could, in theory, go on for some time. I think its a bit telling that ESRI has both flex & silverlight spatial data viewers but the current JS one is kind of laughable.
