Portions of the Flex SDK are compiled into .SWZ files that are(were) signed by Adobe. This would yield two benefits, 1.) security and 2.) Flash Player RSL caching at a global level (all domains), meaning all sites using a specific version of the Flex SDK can be cached only once by a user. Because Adobe will no longer sign Apache Flex RSLs we lose #2. Having Apache host RSLs would help us to resolve #1 as Adobe will no longer host our RSLs. I hope that's clear and that I've gotten that all correct, someone correct me if I'm wrong here please. -- Omar Gonzalez s9tpep...@apache.org
