 Not sure I follow your reasoning. If Flash uploading doesn't work for
 someone, it won't work for them ''regardless'' of whether there's a
 clickable option or a plugin available to ease their pain.

 Leave the option checked by default if you're worried about catching
 errors with the core, but be sensible -- the forums will be FLOODED with
 folks "screaming" about an inability to upload and if the "official"
 reaction is "Download this plugin, install it, activate it, then try
 uploading", I think it's going to be a rough ride.  "Go to Settings->blah
 and unclick that 'Use Flash Uploader' setting" shows care, forethought and
 attention for users' various settings and whims.

 Of course, it's all my $.02 USD.
