Comment (by zamoose):

 By what light is making a system under which a not-inconsiderable number
 of folks CANNOT upload a reasonable thing?  If the software is
 '''broken''' out of the box for folks, that rises to the level of
 "unacceptable" in my view.

 My read of the situation is that the Flash uploader seems happiest with
 the latest version of Flash, which may or may not be the version that
 Adobe is offering for Linux (in particular) or maybe even OS X.

 A fallback checkbox for those thus affected seems to be at least the
 courteous thing to do, rather than snarking "Download a plugin. n00b!" at
 potential users.
