Have you made arrangements for Classified system users of Adobe Creative Cloud products?

Question

I am a classified system user of the Adobe CS6 Suite of tools.  Am I shut out from the Creative Cloud updates going forward?  Have you arranged accomodations for us classified users or do we need to switch to other software over time as CS6 becomes obsolete?

Since I know that Adobe isn't in the business of intentionally alienating its customers I'd like to see this same kind of option made available to casual users in some way that could minimize Adobe's costs.  Adobe has always been the upscale product and even casual users of your software might benefit from not having to phone home more than once a year if they chose to pass on updates.
Note also that since the new CC version came out in June, now an Internet connection is only needed once every 99 days for annual memberships:
"For annual members, you can use the apps for up to 99 days in offline mode. Month-to-month members can use the software for up to 30 days in offline mode"
Another solution for individual/everyday/casual customers would be to buy a year (or more) of Creative Cloud in advance using a prepaid 12-month membership card...  Then (as you said Bob) no online checks would occur for one full year, after the initial (one-time) product activation took place.
