Details
This issue came up at the arm64 meeting last week in Orlando. Edge supports Flash, according to light testing, so we probably should too.
Assuming that we *do* decide to support Flash, it seems unlikely that Adobe will provide a version of Flash that's native to arm64, so we're probably going to wind up somehow supporting the 32-bit version. We may have supported something like this on OS X in days of yore, so ideally that code is still laying around somewhere.
Chuck, I believe you own the decision on supporting Flash from the product side, and if we need Flash support, we can determine who owns that work from engineering?

Self-assigning this; I'll be working with the Flash team to get a decision made over the next week or so

Oh, we also might need to support the x86 Java plugin, if that's still a thing.

I think this is a bad idea. I hope we;re not considering this. Java never fully supported OOPP. We ripped support out ages ago.

I think that was Asa's point of posting the plugins roadmap. If I'm reading that right, Flash is the only plugin we support.
