Why would we stop providing those packages before Adobe's EOL date? Please note that the packages exist and are (usually) updated on all stable releases. How would it make sense to not ship them with groovy?
I would suggest that they are shipped with groovy as usual, and that the packages are replaced with dummies in all stable releases once EOL has been reached. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to flashplugin-nonfree in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1871471 Title: flash end of life soon, suggest remove from groovy Status in adobe-flashplugin package in Ubuntu: New Status in flashplugin-nonfree package in Ubuntu: New Status in pepperflashplugin-nonfree package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hello, Adobe has said they will not be supporting Flash beyond 2020: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/flash-format-support-in-pdf.html https://theblog.adobe.com/adobe-flash-update/ I think we shouldn't ship Flash in groovy.
