Are you asking about the Chrome whitelist or Firefox? If you're asking 
about Chrome, you would need to talk to the Chrome engineering team 
directly, as they probably don't monitor this list.

Mozilla's position on plugins is represented here:

Plugins are considered a legacy technology, but we don't have any plans 
to remove NPAPI from our desktop products in the near future.

Chrome's plan to remove NPAPI seems like unrealistic posturing to me.

At the present time, we are whitelisting Flash but no other plugins in 
Firefox. We are discussing the option of whitelisting some other plugins 
for a while (maybe a year) while they work on transitioning to web 
technologies. Currently we don't have a decision on policy on this issue.
