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.
