Well you're right of course, though as I said in reply to Paul Wise there is still a use-case with no alternative at the BBC News website, and if a throwaway VM is used then the risk is mostly mitigated. Also I believe there are quite a few corporate intranet use-cases that *depend* on Flash for corporate web-apps (at least according to traffic on the Enterprise Firefox list).
