Will users be able to selectively not display flash files in the plugin? I'm sick of seizure-inducing "Stune the Beeber and WIN a FREE XBOX" ads.

Amen. Flash is very rude. I used to run Firefox without Flash, but when I upgraded Flash on another browser, it snuck into the Firefox as well. Anyone know how to disable the flash player on a per-browser basis? I can use IE or Mozilla when I really want to see something in Flash, but I don't want the garbage when I'm surfing with Firefox.

If you use Firefox, you can use the Flashblock extension. It will replace flash animations with a button that you can press if you want it to play. It's on my short list of essential extensions.
