I don't see that. If you agree that a single release package to install
makes RPM Fusion more accessible then it is well worth the effort. If
Flash is distributable, it can be packaged as well. Even if that is not
the case, everything that we can do to improve usability is a step
forward. Don't let perfect stop the good.
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.
Someone submitted such a app for review and due to opposition were made
to drop some of the non-free enablers making such an app not suitable
for what you are talking about.
