Serious bug in new flash for linux closed because it is low priority

First, the Adobe developer explicitly said they're tracking the bug internally and that they've only closed it in their external bug tracker. They said they could reproduce it, so your job as a bug reporter is done.

Second, Adobe has limited resources like any organization and so they have to set priorities. Flash runs on 99% of internet enabled PCs [1], which could very well be hundreds of millions of Windows and Mac OS X desktops. I don't see how _any_ Linux bug could be anything other than low priority in the face of that.

Maybe 5 years ago, when Linux appeared to be gaining significant momentum on the desktop because Ubuntu, priorities could have been different. However, it's now clear that Mac OS X is and will be the alternative OS of choice for most people who don't use Windows for the foreseeable future.
