Here's the exact response I got from the developer after asking for help:
"I am not going to go out of my way to help you run security-critical
software that is YEARS out of date. In fact, I consider it my
responsibility to do exactly the opposite.
It's not rocket science: someone on your distro's team just needs to
update it ONCE A YEAR. If that is too onerous for them, then I'd prefer
that they not distribute my software at all.
If you don't like the way XScreenSaver works, then don't run it. I hear
GNOME Screensaver is a thing that also exists. See how that works out
for you instead."
I didn't know a screensaver was that critical.
