Now that they're baked into IE 10, those should be fetchable via WU.
Others can update Flash via your preferred poisoning method.
... what's the issue? It's an alternate download method for anyone who may wish to use those installers. Options are always appreciated. Clearly they must serve a purpose or Microsoft would not have made them available.
I'm glad to see Microsoft make my life a bit easier since I don't use WU. I just installed the IE update. No reboot required. I haven't done plugin one yet.
