But there are other people in the field who believe this is
counterproductive, see for example the reply from the Toped author:

That wiki page is hardly "what Fedora is about" and in fact I believe it is
counterproductive. We should instead point people to Gnash and/or Swfdec.
Or just not recommend consuming Flash content at all, just like we do for
DVDs and MP3s.
