Agreed. That's why I said we should push on finding alternatives, and
didn't say we should kill it right now. There's surely a long way to go
until Flash can die, but the more we can help sites use alternatives,
the lower its overall usage will be in terms of usage hours, and the
fewer crashes and hangs we'll see. And that in the end will make our
users happy.

At the same time, we'll of course continue to work with Adobe so they
fix as many issues as possible in further updates. We had some success
with this already, as seen in slowly (way too slowly for my taste, but
at least it's something) decreasing amounts of issues in later 11.3
updates as well as in the 11.4 release. Benjamin Smedberg has done a ton
of work there (and some people in our QA team have also been quite
helpful in finding STR), and he's working on more things so we can help
Adobe get better info esp. on the "hangs" (i.e. when the Flash process
doesn't react for 45s and we kill it).
