I have to agree that the generic warning is a little too scary to encourage widespread adoption.
An example of too many dialogs preventing adoption is Shockwave. Even with 60% of people having Shockwave installed, clients tend not to want to use it because installing the plugin has opt-out add-ons, and if you access content on another valid site for the same company, Shockwave would show that security dialog. With the latest Shockwave version you can now check the crossdomain.xml policy file, and so at last can get around that issue for using content on another one of the client's sites.
Flash security is extremely tough and limiting, and manages to do all that without having to bother the user with permission dialogs. About 15 years of effort has gone into the thinking behind how Shockwave and Flash security is handled, so there is a chance that some of what they have done is a good way to work.
So, Rev stacks online for your relatives to see your work is fine, but for real large client work it won't succeed if every user that uses the piece has to cope with security and permissions dialogs, because clients will tell you to use Flash instead.
