It's not just xmms-flac that's going to be deprecated, it's xmms. The problem is that it's basically dead upstream; xmms2 is NOT equivalent. Thus, the distribution package maintainers would be on the hook for security fixes. Additionally, xmms is one of the few remaining gtk1 apps, gtk1 is dead upstream, and thus they'd be on the hook for gtk1 maintenance as well.
Audacious is probably the closest thing to xmms functionality and interface, althought it's NOT a drop-in replacement - you can't intermix the plugins, and the socket interface is different, IIRC.
