Replying to my own post...

No, you're right, part of the problem is that they set the kill bits for 
older versions of Flash, and Linux Flash is ancient.  The good news is, 
Adobe has relented and announced an up-to-date version of Flash for 
Linux (probably due to unfixable security issues).  The bad news is, 
it's not out yet, and I haven't seen the timetable for release.  There's 
a beta...
