My point was that we should be compiling against the current playerglobal.swc and testing against the current player, not that we should be creating SWFs that require the current player to run. Otherwise you run the risk that you create SWFs that don't actually run on the current player (although Adobe tries to ensure compatibility).

What is the point of bumping up the requirement? Unnecessarily bumping up flash player version requirements will cause a lot of developers to not upgrade their Flex SDK versions. I have seen this first hand. Of course, this does not prevent folks from running their Flex apps using the latest flash players. In enterprise world, such upgrades are done infrequently; we need to we very careful when we bump up the flash player version requirement.
