For Linux there are no issues with the proprietary 64 bit flash, but
there will be no new versions of Flash any more for Linux. If FreeBSD
should use the Linux version, than Flash in the near future either way
won't work any more. IIRC Flash only is needed by some browsers and only
for videos that e.g. start with an advertising and special tasks like
that. I'm not sure, but AFAIR HTML 5 can replace Flash, assumed a video
doesn't start with an advertising and things like that.
For Linux Adobe will continue providing security upgrades for 11.2 in
the future, but that won't help, when websites expect newer versions.
