Bug Description

There's a section "Open-source alternatives to Flash" on this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/ubuntu-help/net-install-flash.html. It's the official documentation for 16.04.

Neither Gnash or LightSpark is being developed any more and as far as I know there's no other open-source alternative to Flash, so can we delete this section? (I don't mean delete the page, I mean delete the section "Open-source alternatives to Flash".)

This one should also be an upstream bug report (which would make it easier next time we re-sync with the upstream stuff, something we haven't done for awhile). See here:
