I'm stating that swfdec couldn't ever be as capable as Adobe's competitor for
Fedora without Livna in the way. Livna can make it acceptable for us
Europeans, but Fedora can't make it easy to install or use. Fedora can make
Adobe's Flash easy to install and use.

As Kevin said, this mechanism is inferior to the RPM-based one.

Don't stick to that "Codeina" word. Look at it this way: we already have an
automatic downloader of proprietary code built into FF. We can replace it with
more manageable mechanism, using YUM repository. It should be used by FF, as
the worse one is right now.
