Adobe Drop Linux Support for Adobe AIR

In a blog post today, Adobe’s Director of Open Source and Standards said: “we will be focusing on supporting partner implementations and will no longer be releasing our own versions of Adobe AIR and the AIR SDK for desktop Linux”. McAllister says that “way back in 1999” he’d predicted “a significant market for desktop Linux by 2005. Obviously I was wrong. So we, Adobe, also need to shift with the market.” Source code for AIR will be made available to partners so they can make their own Linux implementations if they so desire. Is there anyone in the audience who cares about no more AIR on Linux from Adobe? Anyone…?
