I just read an article today about new developments in gnash:
http://www.heise.de/open/Freier-Flash-Player-macht-Fortschritte--/news/meldung/134036/from/rss09
English: http://www.h-online.com/open/Gnash-0-85-release--/news/112779
Maybe it is better than swfdec now, who knows

The project is alive, but I don't particularly care about it since 
Adobe's 64 bit beta player works good enough for me. If you want to drop 
it, then do it.
