I'm not disagreeing with you but it's still a breathtakingly crappy way 
of handling it. Acroread for linux is still available as a regular web 
download, so it's not remotely obvious that it's desupported unless you 
follow the news independently. For example it might have been worth a 
final mention on Adobe's "acrobat for unix" blog 
http://blogs.adobe.com/acroread/ rather than leaving that abandoned 
since 2010!
