Shipping Shumway has some problems due to patent claims by Adobe, as I understand. It was thought that things could be worked out, but apparently that fell through.
So the options are to either keep developing Shumway but not ship it, or stop developing it and not ship it. The latter is a bit more attractive if resources are limited.

I have previously installed shumway but it never seemed to work on the websites I wanted to load. :( So perhaps the remaining effort to get it working was too much.
