Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Exactly about it being in extra. Good post.

Everyone really should be going to the AUR page before using yaourt. It's a great tool, but knowing what you're downloading is more important than convenience.

I just untarred the archive from http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html and did "cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/".

Is there any reason to go through the seemingly increased hassle of "installing" it?

Absolutely none. As mentioned above, you can install flashplugin from [extra].
