It's not such a large file and does not have the potential to break other things in the distro.

What do you think?

In general, I would say a good idea. As Flash 7 brings several problems with pages that Flash 9 solves. I have one issue when upgrading (does not concern 'regular' users, but the issue can be interesting to follow): If one installs the x86_64 edition fo Firefox (I did so) and the nspluginwrapper to be able to use the 32bit plugings (like flash, works great) there is an issue with updating the plugins: On installation of nspluginwrapper, a 'cache' of existing plugins is created (the plugins get wrapped); FF only uses these wrapped plugins. So after upgrading the 'real' Flash Plugin to Version 9, FF still only had the Version 7 Plugin. For the future, such a case should be solveable, as 64bit FF with the wrapper will most likely get more common than it is today.

We are planning to do so I think. I also guess that Adobe has now discontinued the flash7 line, so with the next security issue in flash we will have to update all products to flash9.
