I believe the reason for dropping support for Flash on linux is Adobe
expects all modern browsers (except Google Chrome) to use a certain API
for Flash content on the web (I can't recall the name right now, but
this basically means no more plugins for Flash content). So all FOSS
browsers are free to implement the support for this API.

I don't know the details but if this makes all Flash sites start
working reliably on Linux, I would be willing to put up with work
arounds like using VMs for a year or two.
