Not as a default. I cringe at the thought of computers that by default broadcast
a message like "Hey moron! You need to totally update me with security updates"
while sitting.. idling...with the operator away from the display..just
waiting for someone to walk by and to note that the computer the
display is attached to is in a vulnerable state.  Information leakage
isn't really a good idea. I don't even want to see the Operating
system version being display if at all possible, certainly not uptime
or kernel version or whether the machine is security patched in a
screensaver.
