I think this means that the RTE will continue in incubator status for
the time being, as a Flash-only component unless someone contributes
a DHTML equivalent. (The phrase "It will not ever work in DHTML" is a
bit too strong -- the API could be supported in DHTML, but the
current implementation is very Flash specific.) This is more
maintenance-of-status than reduction-of-status.

From the release notes for OL4B1:
Rich Text Editor
The Rich Text Editor, a SWF extension, has not been tested for SWF
and its future is uncertain. As an "incubator" component, it may be
discontinued without a formal deprecation. It will not ever work in
DHTML. If you want a rich text editor and are using the DHTML
runtime, we suggest embedding an existing DHTML text editor such as
TinyMCE tinymce.moxiecode.com

Per the line below from the release notes, I understand that the
RTE will not be part of OL going forward. I assume that means the
<richinputtext> component is not supported.
Can I assume that the baserichedittext and scrollrichedit text
classes are also not supported?
Finally, is there any reason to keep the chapter on Rich Text in
the Developer's Guide?
Thanks,
