I never said anything about proprietary stuff being wrong. You're projecting.

You speak as if this change to glibc didn't undergo testing by Intel before they submitted it to glibc. Then go through whatever review and testing the glibc project has. Then go through a full Fedora rawhide/beta/testing cycle. And then a Fedora final release. It has not had any special treatment. It has gone through the same testing any change to glibc gets.

These implications that this change to glibc is in any way untested are just patently absurd.

Lets see the bug reports, or you're just spewing FUD about your own product.

(And one again its being glossed over the fact that the 32-bit flash plugin works fine. This is a problem only in the *explicitly* unsupported by Adobe 64-bit *PREVIEW* flash plugin. No one is stopping anyone from having Flash. If you're truly hung up on a geek fetish for some kind of "64-bit purity", a great variety of workarounds have already been established. Isn't open source great? :)
