[wp-hackers] SWFobject not included in core?

[Viper007Bond]

What does it matter? The WP API, if properly used, ensures only one copy,
the latest version, is used.

I don't see what the problem is. WordPress can't be expected to bundle every
JS package known to man. Plus why SWFObject over something else? What about
all of the blogs that don't use it? etc.
