IMHO we should not implement dirty workarounds for some broken proprietary software. As a software engineer I always prefer clean solutions. If Adobe is not able to make working software, we should better think about ways to avoid using that broken software, instead of crippling our software with dirty workarounds.
I'm wondering how Apple iPads work with Youtube. They don't have flash, but can play all Youtube videos without restrictions. Why not go the Apple-way?

AFAIK, the iPad just uses the Youtube API to get access to the videos, so this is not an option.
In my opinion Ubuntu should take the pragmatic approach. Ubuntu wants to be the "Linux for the masses" and they should act accordingly. Youtube is one of the most popular internet services and watching Youtube videos without hardware acceleration just sucks, especially when you are using a notebook.
The "clean code" solution is certainly the silver bullet, but considering the number of people affected by this bug I'm all for the pragmatic approach here.
