It's too early to tell, but if you're right and it causes Flash to have even more stability issues for browsers than it already does, I'll pass. I've got Sandboxie for these sorts of attacks.

flash-button for firefox to turn complete off. but all changes sometime.
best weapon is an actual flash plugin - i am not frightened.
all those re-active tools slow down - whats not present cant slow down
