So seriously. I ask that if you're planning on disabling this
obsolescence warning, that you instead just remove xscreensaver from

+ PS: In particular, since Debian refuses to upgrade software on any
+ kind of rational timeline, I have asked that they stop shipping
+ xscreensaver at all. They have refused. Instead of upgrading the
+ software, they simply patched out this warning.

+ If you want to witness the sad state of the open source peanut
+ gallery, look no farther than the comments on my blog:

+
+ Many of these people fall back on their go-to argument of, "If it is
+ legal, it must be right." If you believe in that rhetorical device
+ then you are a terrible person, and possibly a sociopath.
+
+ There are also the armchair lawyers who say "Well, instead of
+ *asking* people to do the right thing out of common courtesy, you
+ should just change your license to prohibit them from acting
+ amorally." Again, this is the answer of a sociopath, but that aside,
+ if you devote even a second's thought to this you will realize that
+ the end result of this would be for distros like Debian to just keep
+ shipping the last version with the old license and then never
+ upgrading it again -- which would be the worst possible outcome for
+ everyone involved, most especially the users.
