Distributing that version would be a very bad idea.

It was not updated since last November, meaning it did not get any of the security fixes the 32bit version got.

A sample of them:

http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb11-07.html
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb11-05.html

Which means that by running that version of the plugin, websites have dozen of known ways to take control of your machine, and some have been exploited for months...
