[Bug 326555] Re: Please package flashplugin 64bit

[Mike Arthur]

The security and/or alpha status decision are political reasons. A
pragmatist would say that the x86_64 actually provides a better user
experience and makes Ubuntu look better and could be pulled (if
necessary) if there is a major security problem.

Simply put, the nspluginwrapper solution does not work nearly well
enough. Flash is important for many users to use the web. It's simply
not good enough that this issue has been raised for over a year without
any resolution.

Most users won't even look at the wiki, they will just install Flash
using Synaptic, it'll crash their browser, they'll say "Ubuntu sucks"
and move on. Saying this information shouldn't even be on the wiki is
beyond ridiculous.

nspluginwrapper is a buggy hack. I'm not sure why it's seen to be of
higher quality than an alpha release made by the actual creators of
Flash.
