I'm probably the only one, but I find this somewhat hope-inspiring. This response by their CTO gives the Flash team permission to go back and fix all of the crashing bugs and improve performance.
If Adobe is like most other large companies, I'd bet those same engineers have been stuck in the downward-spiral feature crunch to support more codecs, more language features, more more more. It takes a pretty high-level push -- like this one! -- to reverse that trend.
A good analogy is MSFT and the turnaround on security in ~2001/2002.
