SoundManager can likely be replaced with pure HTML5.

crossdomain.xml will go when Flash is removed, see default htaccess files for example.

Also we should remove the flash banner from our banners.zip file.

This is implemented (i.e. Flash is removed).

I have made some exceptions though. I am not removing flash from integrated utility code that uses it as a fallback. This includes: jwplayer, soundmanager, plupload, mediaelement. Flash will be removed from these if these projects themselves remove it and when we upgrade. Having flash as a fallback for old browsers is still a valid use-case.
