So does that mean the bug is grandfathered in because it got here
first? In this case, alpha is just a label, and the 64-bit flash
player is much more stable than running 32-bit flash under
nspluginwrapper, according to many users who have commented on this
thread. There doesn't seem to be any reason to keep the 32-bit flash
plugin under nspluginwrapper that makes up for its brokenness.
