It would be nice to get native HTML5 DRM Netflix support into Chrome or Firefox so I can torch any incarnation of silverlight from my box. I'm using pipelight, but it still loads some silverlight dlls. :(

Totally agree. Since Microsoft is deprecating or phasing out Silverlight, I can hardly imagine they'd be arsed enough to actually deal with these flaws in a serious, long-term way. More likely, they'll fix the issues long enough to make the bad press go away, and then wash, rinse, repeat when the next flaw comes up. Who wants to work on the team that has to patch and protect the product your company has decided they'll eventually - and soon - kill off? Assign that crappy responsibility to the new team of interns - it will be good for their resumes! ha ha.
