I think many already did (as mentioned in the translators list), so 
situation is hopefully not that bad!

The problem, why we (FAL+me) decided to not integrate plupload without 
FAL is that we would avoid some ugly things on the PHP side. The 
integration I made was a bit hacky, as TYPO3 expects multipart uploads, 
while plupload prefers to send binary streams or - esp. the HTML5 case - 
can only send binary stream (within an XmlHttpRequest).

Also some neat features ("there's already such a file, do you want to 
overwrite it?" instead of checking the "overwrite" box before upload 
etc) would require some work. That's why I did not continue and see more 
sense in having FAL in core, force everybody to use it and bring 
plupload a perfect upload interface based on plupload.

I don't know, which browsers are also affected, I know only Firefox, 
whilst Opera is not affected. Dunno about the rest.

I think the protocol and the outcome is perfectly fine!
Having it in Berlin is IMHO really important.

Thanks for the minutes!
