I tend to thinks that the wrong direction in the long term, as that
still doesn't solve problems like "where do I get the flash-plugin" for
new users.

I haven't thought this to the end, but maybe a small app that does
everything needed would be the better solution. E.g. the app could ask
"do you want nonfree software <yes/no>" "do you want to install the
flash-plugin <yes/no>" and things like that.

Yes, there are such small apps already. Last time I looked closer at
them they did some things in a ugly or non-ideal way that often lead to
problems sooner or later. But maybe we could talk to the author of one
of those to clean one up and make it the official, RPM Fusion endorsed
way to configure RPM Fusion and all the other stuff that a lot of people
want.
