Dear Non-Apple ports,

Running Flash has been more difficult over the past few years as part of a (semi-) \
coordinated effort by browsers and Adobe. The plan is to remove support for Flash + \
NPAPI by the end of this year. See the links below. 

I'd like to remove our NPAPI code soon, but I want to make sure the other ports are \
ok with this. Please speak up if you have a reason to keep it in.

[Note that we will still have some plugin code e.g. our internal PDFPlugin, just no \
support for externally installed plugins]

Dean
