I think we were all agreeing to raise confidence in backports.
I think we can also all agree that if Adobe say that's a beta version,
they are likely more knowledgeable than us about this too.
Is the plugin supported by adobe ? Being still beta, I would say it is
not for now.
Some of us may have forgot, but they did withdraw the 64 bits version
plugin in the past with any communication, because it was insecure and
unsupported, and already a beta version.
We can also agree that taking the same policy regarding backporting than
at Mandriva will just yield the same result, ie saying "it is not
supported, so use it at your own risk".
And so, if we want to send the message "backports are supported", we
should just act accordingly, and not send unsupported softwares to it.
The plugin may work fine now on the machine of everybody, it would still
be unsupported by adobe.
