Actually, you're starting down a well-trodden path. Many people have already asked Adobe for a FreeBSD-native release, and Adobe has never seen fit to do so. The FreeBSD desktop market is apparently too small to make it worth their while. That's a perfectly valid position for them to take, no matter how much we might dislike it. And "Use a supported OS if you want Flash" isn't a schtick. It's eminently practical advice, from people who have tried but don't see any way the situation on FreeBSD is likely to change.help
