The way Adobe handled this issue just goes to show how terrible their QA and bug triage processes are.
Personally, I've been withholding from using Flash blocking plug-ins because I always thought that it would take away from my experience of most modern web-sites - that is despite Flash being a big pile of crap in terms of full-screen HD video performance on a gaming-grade laptop that plays Far Cry on maxed out settings.
I believe my cup of anger just overflowed - I will be installing Flashblock today.
And until Adobe learns how to truly test performance of their software on a variety of machines (oh, don't get me started on GPU acceleration problems in Photoshop CS4 when it first came out and perf issues with Flash HD video playback on specific GPUs) as well as how to properly respond to security issues, Flashblock will be kept enabled.
