We want to kill Flash because it's proprietary and closed source (just like HTML DRM). Replacing Flash, which at least works on Linux, Windows, and Mac, with platform-specific DRM, is a huge step backward for the web.

Not really. I want to get rid of Flash because of security, battery life/performance and because it is not touch friendly.

Security, battery life and touch-friendliness aren't necessarily the most renown features of a DRM binary blob.

Communicating with the blob in an open-source project will be particularly fun.
