Screensaving is extremely useful as is power management, and power prices are going up not down. We don't customise the upstream kernel just because J Random User happens to want his defaults. There are a couple of things you can sensibly do 1. Just turn it off in software. It's run time configurable via setterm 2. If you have a reliable way of detecting the presence of a remote console device and that device supports reporting when a connection is made/broken you could submit a patch to make it unblank on connect.
