Hard to interpret that as anything but the thing I like being backburnered. Which is how it goes, but sucks.
Whether that comes to pass depends on sprite uptake and so forth, but I believe it to be a lot more likely than I did a month ago. So, like I said, bummed, because fly is genuinely nice and I dislike using aws.

So it's both indeed.
Without any special insight into fly.io, I'd bet the situation is the latter. You keep the lights and fix security issues for the existing infra (which incidentally gives you money out of cashflow to invest in new efforts).
