+ /* If you are in here because you're planning on disabling this warning
+ before redistributing my software, please don't.
+
+ I sincerely request that you do one of the following:
+
+ 1: leave this code intact and this warning in place, -OR-
+
+ 2: Remove xscreensaver from your distribution.
+
+ I would seriously prefer that you not distribute my software at all
+ than that you distribute one version and then never update it for
+ years.
+
+ I am *constantly* getting email from users reporting bugs that have
+ been fixed for literally years who have no idea that the software
+ they are running is years out of date. Yes, it would be great if we
+ lived in the ideal world where people checked that they were running
+ the latest release before they report a bug, but we don't. To most
+ people, "running the latest release" is synonymous with "running the
+ latest release that my distro packages for me."
+
+ When they even bother to tell me what version they're running, I
+ say, "That version is three years old!", and they say "But this is
+ the latest version my distro ships". Then I say, "your distro
+ sucks", and they say "but I don't know how to compile from source,
+ herp derp I eat paste", and *everybody* goes away unhappy.
+
+ It wastes an enormous amount of my time, and kind of makes me regret
+ ever having released this software in the first place.
+
+ So seriously. I ask that if you're planning on disabling this
+ obsolescence warning, that you instead just remove xscreensaver from
+ your distro entirely. Everybody will be happier that way. Check
+ out gnome-screensaver instead, I understand it's really nice.
+
+ Of course, my license allows you to ignore me and do whatever the
+ fuck you want, but as the author, I hope you will have the common
+ courtesy of complying with my request.
+
+ Thank you!
