Yes, exactly, that's one of the two approaches I had in mind: rewriting
from scratch preferably also in Rust (which obviously wouldn't fit in
the proposed budget or timeframe), or use Ruffle with the existing code.

I'm wondering if some of the changes that are now needed for AIR would
make it more difficult to switch to Ruffle later on. I clearly see AIR
as some temporary solution to keep running even after Dec 2020, as long
as Ruffle isn't ready yet.

In a more mid-term, I really like to see a move away from such
proprietary platforms to an editor that runs in a browser
out-of-the-box. I'm a bit worried about AIR being (too) difficult to
install and run for an average Potlatch user, but that's just a gut feeling.
