I read today that even Google Chrome will be phasing out support for the v. buggy Adobe Flash this year. Yikes? Are there any plans to migrate BBO to a more secure platform?

If that's true then they must be replacing it with something else. They can't just
leave a vacuum.

A replacement is available. It is called HTML5.
But it does require a software rewrite. Some parts of BBO have been done in HTML5. The rest of it sounds like a major headache.
Psych (pron. saik): A gross and deliberate misstatement of honour strength and/or suit length. Expressly permitted under Law 73E but forbidden contrary to that law by Acol club tourneys.
Psyche (pron. sahy-kee): The human soul, spirit or mind (derived, personification thereof, beloved of Eros, Greek myth).
Masterminding (pron. mstr-mnding) tr. v. - Any bid made by bridge player with which partner disagrees.
"Gentlemen, when the barrage lifts." 9th battalion, King's own Yorkshire light infantry,

The article I read just said that it won't be removed, it just won't be enabled by default (except for a handful of well-known sites that still depend on it). When you go to a site that needs it, like BBO, you'll be asked if you want to enable it, and it will remember your choice.
So I don't think the end is quite nigh, but it's getting closer.

BBO officials shoud by now understand that flash is going out and introduce a HTLM5 Version soon. Can't be that difficult.
