I had an "ah ha" moment while reading the description of why the gnome-screensavers chose the route they did to remove the Cosmos screensaver. At first, I think I reacted as many did--with surprise and indignation. However, their argument seems reasonable and they seem very open to explaining their actions.
I must say, however--playing with all the xscreensaver options brought some nostalgic joy to my heart this evening. : o ) I'm going to go ahead and salvage the old Cosmos screen saver images for xscreensaver, instead:
