At that time I muttered under my breath that I would probably be dead by the time they actually got around to it. 2020, huh? It's going to be close.

Thank you for your kind sentiment, but I've had a terrific life, so no regrets on anyone's part. And it's still possible I'll keep surprising myself. I was expected to last six months in 1982, so I've been fortunate. I should tell you that you have provided me with a steady stream of amusement. It's so appropriate that your list name is Curt. Those pithy little zingers never fail to tickle. They've made this a fun place to visit. I had hoped to see the world get a sense of humor and go to a big party together before I kicked it. Obviously, that's not going to happen, but if I may see the end of Flash before it sees the end of me, that will be a tiny but nice consolation prize. ;-) JP

Flash, per se, has never been part of Debian due to it’s being aggressively proprietary. However, there have been various free or semi-free substitutes. (I’ve never knowingly installed any such thing, but… ) Should Debian de-support those substitutes? If so, when?
