Not going to happen. Pepper is a big pile of non-standard Chrome-only APIs. Reverse-engineering and implementing all that, just for desktop Linux, when users will still have download Chrome to get Flash, just isn't worth it. The Web will be better off if we invest to make Flash (post-11.2) irrelevant.
