Does "nspluginwrapper.i686" still work with the Flash plugin on x86_64?

  $ yum search wrapper firefox|grep 86
  nspluginwrapper.i686 : A compatibility layer for Netscape 4 plugins

It used to be the only way to get Adobe's Flash Player for x86_64 when
they didn't ship a build for x86_64. Installing the wrapper will pull in
other i686 packages as dependencies, but that's not a problem for many
users.
