Adobe Sticks A Fork In Flash For Android

I personally have always hated flash, it slows down web page loading on my already slow net connection. But a ton of sites are already have it and its going to take a few years before they adopt html5 as such a move is expensive and time consuming.
So in the meanwhile, we will still need flash support in our mobile browsers if we plan on browsing many pages. So why not support it for now until better options are implemented instead of the cold turkey route ?
