At least that is how I see it
Superior ways find its way to the users. If they are superior. It's like Android devices isn't released for several months and let windows or something else a chance.

That is not how it should work.

4.1 doesn't (officially) support Flash.
However, they've been saying the latest plugin (4.0.3+) works on 4.1 flawlessly.

So I guess Flash isn't dead. And the next iteration of (major, not incremental) Android would certainly break compatability. Though I guess there will be some sort of open-source effort which might bring it back.

However, that will be a short lived feature, afterwards its certainly gone for good.
The only way you'd be able to have Flash after that, is if a reputable company (Opera/Firefox) actually incorporates it into their App: web browser. It would be clunky for most things, but online videos may still work.

I'm not so confident that the migration away from flash will be so quick or so smooth for all websites. Take restaurants for example. They have a hard enough time keeping their websites up and current. Are they really going to be on top of this transition? Even xvideos.com has mostly flash content--what of that!?

I've surfed with my iPad2 with no flash, and there are noticeable problems accessing content due to lack of flash. But, in the end, my attitude is, “Thou art not paid for thy methods, but rather for thy results.” So long as I can see the content I want, and block the content I don't want, I'm good to go.
