I just hope we have and maintain a FOSS Flash player for legacy content. There are tons of games and interactive sites that have content worth preserving/archiving.
I know one exists, but last I checked it was not fully featured and had issues. We'd need to either finish that for archiving purposes, or hopefully Adobe can just open source their player once everyone bans it across the web.
My hope is that Adobe would continue to maintain and update Flash Player for many years to come, even though it is no longer "required" for using the web. And while not a default-launch item, something that browsers do maintain support for to launch with user permission.
I also know there's been work in turning Flash content into HTML5 content on the fly, and maybe that will be complete enough to play legacy content down the road.
>> even though it is no longer "suggested" for using the web
Fix'd. It's not even just that you don't need it for 95% of content, it's that OS vendors actively prohibit it's use due to it's unstoppable myriad of security concerns.
