My mother is an accountant - OpenBSD is not right for her. My father does graphics - OpenBSD is not right for him. I'm a sysadmin - OpenBSD works well for me. And for the things I use OpenBSD for. OpenBSD is not for everyone or everything, and we won't be the least bit hurt if you decide OpenBSD is not for you. Apparently the set of people who use OpenBSD (or at least who write code that works on OpenBSD) and the set of people who care about flash are pretty much disjoint. If enough people want working flash on OpenBSD, it'll happen. I don't think that critical mass has been reached yet. Think for a moment about what flash is: a blob. It's a little program that you got from someone you don't know, that you can't look into, that you can't be sure what it does and that you want to run with access to the network. Somehow I doubt that is very attractive scenario to most openbsd users. CK -- GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too?
