Relax. They (upstream) have a fix - of course!

This bug has been marked as a secret show-case bug for some MS fan-boi
(or Ballmer on his swan song) to pull out as evidence as to how kack
"linux" (Gnome) is because you can't even configure your screen-saver.

As soon as that happens, the patch will be applied to steal away the
thunder and undermine MS marketing strategy.

This big is also part of the strategy for bug #1

All this is obvious (and I shouldn't have to explain it) if you read
between-the-lines here:

And realize that most of the reasons given are pretty much dumb reasons
that only appeal to powerful entities who need help controlling their
serfs and in no way relate to giving competent power over their own
operating system.

Once you realise that, it all makes perfect sense!
