I'm not very much convinced that leaving flash-broken konqueror in Lunar may 
have any motivating impact on KDE developers. If implementing 9,0,48 flash 
module is going to introduce mess I will not do this.

BTW: I was not going to add new module. I planned to reuse already present 
flash-plugin module (which is not usable now due to broken download url), and 
add it as required dependency to KDE so if 9,0,115 flash would be detected an 
user would be forced to remove it in favour of 9,0,48 flash plugin which is 
known to be compatible with all popular web browsers. (I know that by 
downgrading the flash hw video acceleration would be lost this way but I 
think it is more important to reslove crashing than adding new cool features)

If someone needs non-crashing konqueror with flash let me know so I will 
return to implementing 9,0,48 flash module idea.
