Why is EME the holdup?  That seems completely irrelevant for the majority of them*.  We already have Silverlight click-to-play which makes more sense to wait for EME for...

So previously we discussed that it might be considered when Youtube goes HTML5.  What would be the trigger for a future discussion?  Flash usage under 5%?

Would you consider making Flash click-to-play on just Linux?  It's no longer getting non-security updates (been almost 3 years now) and will no longer be maintained by Adobe in February 2017[1].   I'd like to get ahead of just not having it available anymore.

Thanks again,

*Really shouldn't use EME: Unity Player, Jabber SDK, McAfee Security Scanner, Jabber Guest, Estonian ID Card, Nexus Personal BankID, GradeCam, Smart Card Plugin, WebEx, Skype, Facebook Video Calling, MS Office Lync, VidyoWeb, McAfee Virtual Technician, SiteAdvisor Enterprise, F5 Networks SSLVPN/Firepass, Nexus Personal, Box Edit, and Roblox Launcher.

Might want to (or need to) use EME: VGConnect for DirecTV, coupons.com Plugin Printer, ViewRightWeb
