I agree that a few simple/quality screensavers would be fine to include 
by default, but if the debate over which should stay will at all delay 
the removal of all the cruft, I'd say we go to blank-only.

I think blank-only is a better default for now, and we can work on 
getting a couple (probably just one good simple Fedora logo screensaver) 
back in later on.
