I've used the gnash plugin because earlier Flash releases were so "problematic" (crashing Flash would generally crash Firefox). But generally migrated away from Flash as it seemed to become more and more of an advertising distribution medium that one had no user control over (this is a subjective impression). Gnash also seemed to be unable to play more recent versions of Flash files.
Is gnash still under development (as an open source alternative to Adobe flash)? If so, then it would seem to make sense to keep the plugin alive. Where does this all go with the evolution towards more open media formats (HTML 3.x?). It is my impression currently that a consensus could not be agreed upon for a "standard" open non-proprietary format for audio/video files.
