I agree that Adobe Flash Player is a semi-abandod piece of software, but 
it will take years before Flash will be completely gone from the 
internet. Maybe it will take 15 years. Everybody knows that ie6's 
lifetime was way too long. Some functionality provided by Flash is not 
supported by other techniques, like video conferencing. It will take 
years before other techniques will be mainstream to support this and 
flash will be the only way to provide cross-browser, cross-platform 
video conference (webcam and audio) support. Flash is too important on 
the internet at the moment to have such a big bug in linux. I have 
developed a chat site and the only way to support webcam chat with audio 
is using flash. On linux this is always problematic and going to the 
global settings just isn't a good solution.
