So, by extrapolation, I would imagine that in several years, ADE-based readers using newer versions of ADE will no longer be able to use the xpgt templates. I guess it would have been too much to expect that when they killed support for the xpgt, they would simultaneously begin supporting the formatting ebook makers were using them for.

By the way, with ADE 4.0, finally Adobe started to support epub3; it seems that "more or less" complicated layout can be read on ADE now.
From the ADE's site:

A richer reading experience with EPUB 3 support
The support for EPUB 3 standard allows you a richer reading experience, including: more consistent rendering of audio and video content; support for right to left reading; dynamic image resizing without loss in clarity, support for multi-column layouts, interactive quizzes, better rendering of math formulas, and huge improvements in support for read-aloud and assistive technologies.
