Not that I'm aware of. However the case may be, I have certainly had to
arrange for Flash to be installed in order for people to be able to see
some of the Websites they need to use in their day-to-day routines.

You've piqued my curiosity; I'll ask the person who assembled the
bare-bones disk image we routinely use to jumpstart a machine if he
cleared Flash off of it beforehand. (It's just possible that he did,
because one of the goals of this image *is* to be as bare-bones minimal
as is sane in the context at hand.)
