I heard a nice derashah-y take on that gemara.

Le'asid lavo, everyone will have R' Chanina ben Dosa's attitude, that
Hashem allowing oil to burn or His letting vinegar burn is all the
same thing.

All of Nakh and the other holidays focus on the miraculous -- the neis
nigleh. It's not that they will be taken away, but they'll all look
like Megilas Esther and Purim. Halakhah is eternal; the other holidays
will remain. But their messages will be those of Purim.

Tir'u baTov!
