I come from an IT background (like a lot of people here), so I guess I have a different perspective on things. I think it sucks that some stuff will be lost, but I don't really know what they expect anyone to do. Projects that run flash games in a sandbox app have popped up to archive a lot of flash-based content so there still is a record of it's existence at least.
Maybe open sourcing Flash Player is an option, but a lot of the flaws that make Flash bad are architectural. This is the only way I can see this ending.
