Every software will be obsoleted eventually. Software will evolve into another piece. But it is long time to go.

Full Standard implemented by vendors takes exceptional long time. It is very frustrating. Developers have to deal with numerous compatibility issues. So it is too early to say either Silverlight or Flash is dead.
