I plan to stick around

I've just swap/flex NASA TV to an other channel and make me think, as channels get shutdown or removed, we'll have less and less channels to swap/flex and to the point that over time the number of channels on the flex list will be lower or equal than the number of "slots" we have, meaning that all channels on the list will be selected. It could take years before that happen but still, I wonder what's Rogers plan to when that happen.

That kinda happened already.  Ignite TV Premier used to offer 87 Flex Channels... and enough channels were either removed or went off the air that there were few channels left to swap out anymore.  Rogers "fixed" this by silently dropping the number of flex channels down to 63 and they increased the price, WITHOUT CHANGING THE NAME OF THE PACKAGE.  It took a lot of people by surprise, especially those who signed up the day after the change took effect, or for existing customers who switched to an in-market bundle to maintain their discounts.

Well, that's that.  NASA TV (Channel 241 on Ignite TV) just ceased broadcasting and is now off the air.
