Bread on the table beats > hungry every time. IMO. I might personally choose to stay hungry on occasions if it means it brings food to a person who is more hungry. You have a personal stand point of using whatever tool that fits your needs and value not staying hungry. Fedora values are a bit different https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Foundations It is ok to use a distribution that doesn't match your values perfectly but it important to recognize that there is such a difference. This doesn't mean that everyone who uses Flash is a traitor but again, this discussion is about a compromise. Fedora's compromise in the case of Flash is to describe how to install Flash but also warn users that they are installing proprietary software. People who value the virtues of Free software over the utilitarian benefits would choose to use swfdec or gnash and file bug reports when things don't work. Others would ignore the warning and install the proprietary software and deal with somehow when they face bugs. Again, it is a compromise. I doubt you are going to convince everybody who values free and open source software to abandon their beliefs in favor of your thinking. It is better to understand that there is a difference in values and respect that.
