+1 for removing the flash uploader and including it as a plugin.

IMHO, TinyMCE should be removed from the core completely, hooks included for
any RTE plugin to use, and a TinyMCE plugin installed and enabled by
default. The only issue with this is all of the existing plugins which
depend on TinyMCE; if there were some universal API for adding buttons to
whichever RTE was enabled, we could overcome this hurdle. A universal system
is already beginning with the media buttons in 2.5, which work regardless of
TinyMCE's inclusion, however this only applies for media plugins.
