The choice should really be made at the level of individual users rther
than system-wide.
Yes, I completely agree. BTW, this is not specific to Flash. There
should be user-level alternatives (in addition to system-wide).

Some of that is already done by desktop environments for the obvious applications (web broser, mail client...), but I guess at least one of those DE projects would not include this functionality for such things as browser plugins "because it would be too complicated for the user".
Do I need to name the DE I'm thinking off? ;)


XFce only allows the user to choose MUA or browser. Win XP allows the user to make all sorts of user-specific application choices.
