Both points/complaints/requests have been raised several times in our
mailing lists in the past. (Sorry, I don't keep copies.)
Some people don't like cputime eaten up by the screen saver in the
kernel...
Some peopel want to write "interesting" screen savers...

Personally I am not interested in fancy screen savers :-) But, just want
to keep things tidy and keep the system running smoothly. By moving
much of the screen saver support from the console driver to the
user-land...
