Back to +2 after my -1 for flash 64 in the repos. We would be better off to have no flash than force an Alpha on AMD64 users. The need for any plug-in unnecessary soon. Adobe is talking with Google about complete integration into Chrome. So this bug discussion could be renedered moot in the near future.

What Adobe is developing may never become a full-fledged 64-bit product. There's no plug-in for Windows or Mac being developed at all presently. Some features aren't even implemented yet.

Don't force an Alpha down my throat. The 64-bit Alpha isn't faster, and it breaks websites, especially ones that stream video. That can't possibly be better for most end-users. At least Hulu and ESPN 3 work now with the 32-bit plug-in and the wrapper. Take those away and, IMHO, you may as well have no plug-in at all.

Let's either fix nspluginwrapper, or tell people we're going to wait to see what Adobe is going to do.

BTW, what's going on with these previous two posts?
