Nowadays there are two main groups of users:
1) Desktop users who use the GUI - the GUI/desktop environment they use will
run the fancy screensavers for them which do the power saving stuff, so it
doesn't matter if the text console doesn't go blank - they hardly ever use it -
they won't press ctrl-alt-f1, or will reboot soon if they did, being unable to
figure out how to get back to the GUI.
2) Server users who don't even install the GUI - they do care about console
messages, and use KVM, remote screen etc.
The text console blanking doesn't help either group save power.
