Comment 136 for bug 967091

That's out of the scope of the out-of-the-box defaults. Flash is
ugly, yes, but it's not practical for Ubuntu to provide a replacement
that's suitable for all web sites that use Flash video. And it's
probably not wise to provide a solution for a specific site, like
YouTube. Maintaining such workarounds just isn't practical,
especially for a LTS. Besides, remember that iOS has YouTube-specific
features. You're talking about apples and oranges.

Since there is now a proven workaround for the bug, I think Ubuntu
should consider packaging it and releasing it, as Mr. Tikhonov has.
