Adobe have stopped updating flash for Linux.
Yes and no. They have stopped enhancing it, but they are still bug fixing, especially for security issues. The latest update RPM on my Fedora 19 boxes is less than a month old.

That said, flash is on its way out. If you consider they have withdrawn flash from the largest single media platform on the planet - Android - its obviously going through a near death experience. Its just a pity so many web site are super slow at reworking their platform to feed us video in other ways.
