Even their Linux alpha hasn't had an update since Feb. 11th.

Flash For Linux

It's likely Flash will be passed by as they squabble with Apple, and drag their feet. Already the open source big boys are backing Web M (including Adobe actually)

With IE9 and full support for HTML5 there will be no need for Flash or Silverlight etc. Adobe really dropped the ball on this one. By the time they get around to x64 everyone will be using IE9 and will have no need for Flash. HTML5 I hope will kill all the add-ons. I am so tired of all the hacks, cracks, and exploits that need to be fixed every month because of Flash. Adobe better start making Adobe Pro, Adobe CS5 and alike x64 or they will go way too. We are already looking at x64 alteratives.

agreed, and even when HTML5 becomes mainstream, i would be willing to bet my right leg, and probably a bit of my left one too, that there will be some website designers who wont let go of their beloved flash. (remind you of XP users at all?)
