I'm not trying to antagonize you. But yeah, at this point I'm probably
not helping anymore; I'll be happy to help with any configuration
questions you have, though.

Yeah, I know "should" is different from "is". But that's my point.
There are plenty of places which are equally concerned about security,
and they're able to pull this off. So, saying that Adobe should change
the product because your admins can't deploy it properly is, I think,
a misplaced sentiment.

I agree with this. My previous point was that this was a matter of
perception, not an actual statement about how the world works. The
secure computing community is all over open source, and that simply
wouldn't be the case if this perception were actually true.

I think that's certainly a valid point generally, but you're right -
in this case it doesn't matter because Adobe supports FlexBuilder
directly.

Mine too, unless you have any specific configuration questions, I guess.
