The post says that the 20-year-old screen savers probably will stop working, and that's simply because KDE is trying to make progress. It's very well stated and makes sense. You can rewrite them or make new ones in the new system, screen savers will still be supported in KDE. The GNOME people are saying "I don't think you need screensavers, so you don't get them anymore", and aparently with about as little tact as possible.
