+Right, let's do a head count:
+Mageia 64bit users who are using the 64bit Adobe Flash 11 Beta 1,
+please raise your hand (my hand is raised already, I've been using it
+for 2-3 days).
+
+The point, if there's no other easy way to watch flash for 64bit users
+without jumping through hoops (using nspluginwrapper, which is
+occasionally problematic, or using a 32bit browser on an x86_64
+system, which entails installing some more 32bit libs), there's a good
+chance they'll use flash 11, alpha/beta/rc is still better than the
+hoops.
+
+Also we're talking about pushing it to backports, not updates.
+
+Anyway, since I am personally not affected by the whole issue, I am
+not pushing to submit to mga1, do a poll or whatever, when a consensus
+is reached we can act accordingly.
