I agree. Furthermore when flash-player is no longer installed by default we get better feedback how far it is actually still needed and what is perhaps missing to make a default openSUSE system normally usable even without the Adobe Flash Player. Later when openSUSE has become normally usable without Flash that insecure proprietary stuff could be completely dropped. A further idea to get the openSUSE userbase as a whole at less risk even when flash-player is installed: A question in particular for Wolfgang Rosenauer: Is it possible that Mozilla Firefox is by default installed with "Click-to-play for Flash" enabled? This way users who really need Flash (e.g. for their special super-secure online banking ;-) would not have it enabled all the time on any (possibly malicious) web sites.
