Unnecessary Fear Mongering ...

Adobe will continue to provide security updates to non-Pepper
distributions of Flash Player 11.2 on Linux for five years from its
release.

With the 11.2 release targeted for this year we still have 5 (FIVE) years
of seeing the options.

Lets hope Flash is finally dead then.
