Comment 16 for bug 1911463

@Łukasz: Flash is dead since the year end. Adobe and the big browser vendors have coordinated its EOL.

Possibly - I haven't bothered to investigate it that deep - there is a use case where people want to keep the latest Flash plugin, do some special configuration for the purpose, and use it locally together with some obsolete browser version. But even if such a use case exists, I don't think we should let it block this step. I'd say that there is no longer any reason for us to support any kind of Flash. Think of removing existing plugins as a security measure.

Let me add that the principal Flash package on Ubuntu was adobe-flashplugin, provided via Canonical partner. That package was recently killed in the same manner. If you like you can check with Chris Coulson about his considerations.

Killing pepperflashplugin-nonfree is also an OEM request (bug #1871471).
