All of these packages are either orphaned/out-of-date/duplicate or
deprecated. Could someone delete these please ?

Also, adobe at one point had three seperate flash releases available, and
had versioning/architecture issues that required three seperate AUR
packages.  Their last release consolidates all these releases, rendering two
of these packages obsolete. Adobe also tends to use adjectives like
prerelease/beta/preview randomly,  causing further package naming issues.
(eg, all -prerelease packages have now become -beta, when there used to be
seperate -beta & -prerelease releases earlier). What's a good way to
consolidate users of the three packages into the correct one ?
