Nobody is saying that we should use it now.
This isn't true.
For instance, Erik has long advocated an immediate adoption of flash (for example, http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/commons-l/2007-July/002189.html), and especially with this latest partnership I've seen no evidence that his position has changed.
In prior discussions it has been as clear as these things ever are that the community doesn't want to go that route. Yet the partnership with a flash based web-slideshow startup certainly sounds like movement in that direction. This is one reason that some people here are frustrated.
