Fact is, valuable information is on the web in flash format. This is
not likely to change for many years.

Streaming videos embedded in web pages being the main thing at the
moment, but also classic interactive things that are  educational and
*need* to be done in animation, like the 'real underground' London
Tube map - http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tube/maps/realunderground/realunderground.html

People who use gNewSense are committing to 100% Free Software, and the
distribution should help them do as much as possible using 100% FS.

Therefore having GNASH/Iceweasel packages handy, if not as standard,
is important.

And reminding people that GNASH/etc needs support is a good thing for
the Free Software Movement, imho :-)
