Why would not supporting flash be bad?
There's too much Flash content on the web we'll never deprecate it
Flash is a product by Adobe. It's not an open standard. Adobe is only one company with limited resources. It's time to uninstall it and move on.
seems unlikely it's flash. why would people still use flash?
It sounds like great progress.......until you realize that Google uses Flash everywhere in their own APIs
I am concerned that Flash is like Silverlight in being a black box inside the browser and some platforms (i.e. Apple) do not allow it to run on their phones. In the long run I might want a mobile version of the site.
Adobe Flash is only suited as fuel to burn in hell

flash is not the open web. it was a proprietary plugin.
Simply because at that time both Google and Apple have banned Flash on their respective platforms, otherwise nothing would change.
