they're not going to turn off Flash. it'll keep running just fine until and unless a version of Android comes out that has incompatibilities with the no longer updated Flash for Android.
Jelly Bean runs Flash just fine, so Flash will be around on Android for at least the next 6-12 months.
Browsers is a bit trickier - Chrome doesn't support Flash now, so we're relying on Firefox. But as long as older versions of browsers will run without auto-updating themselves, there won't be a problem.
