Well, since we're talking about Flash, Adobe has decided to not support the Linux version of Flash.  In fact, updates have happened to Flash and the existing Flash package available through Adobe hasn't been updated.

Citation please?  http://helpx.adobe.com/en/flash-player/release-note/fp_13_air_13_release_notes.html shows the latest security update has been released in the 11.2 Linux desktop version at the same day as the 13 non-Linux version.

And even if it were true, I still think that most users have it installed—vulnerable or not; it's just so valuable for many users that the question of security update availability doesn't even arise.[1]
