We can't happily add to our roadmaps technologies owned by others. In a normal world the first one announcing support plans of Adobe Flash in ARM platforms would be Adobe.

Actually we have a similar situation about other pieces of software owned actually by someone else (e.g. hardware drivers, very relevant any time a new device is coming).

Upgrading the kernel in a standard x86 product (e.g. your laptop) is not exactly the same game than going through the same kernel update supposed to run across ARM / OMAP cutting edge devices with all the drivers in good shape.

In a normal world Nokia would only need to care about taking or licensing those kernel or drivers, but the mobile hardware platforms still don't belong to such a normal world. Hopefully MeeGo will help here, and a lot.

In a MeeGo context it will be clear that companies like Adobe, TI, etc are the ones having the initiative about their support towards that platform. In the Maemo 5 case the story is more blurred and the consequence is us not being able to handle such information easily in roadmaps.
