Same here. I block all plugins and js by default anyways... it's not
like anyone should actually be trusting flash to be secure... removing
it will just harm user functionality.

Linus is right http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/706950

of course no matter what... adobe is wrong... they shouldn't have
released without 64-bit... but their wrongs shouldn't make us choose
to harm our users functionality.
