What's with considering proprietary codecs as failures (red)?  Most 
flash out there is going to need proprietary or patent-encumbered 
codecs.  I still think there is enormous value in shipping swfdec in 
Fedora, even if they require proprietary codecs to work on e.g. 
Youtube.  I've had success with Youtube, with the problem that video 
playback terminates about 3/4 or 7/8 of the way through them.

I say ship it, which is the only way it will get wide enough use and 
testing which will hopefully result in these types of bugs being 
fixed.
