Player forking effects
Player forking effects: On the OpenSource-Flash mailing list there was a whole discussion last week about what would happen if someone distributed another renderer for SWF files -- Keith Peters has an effective summation here of the actual effects, but there are lots of other strong comments one level up. There's a big difference between the software we want to customize to our own machines and uses, and the software we rely on to work predictably on Other Peoples Machines.

I agree with Keith. However a custom SWF renderer for use in a non-globally distributed manner would be a very nice thing - but not for an open source project.
