Despite the obvious disadvantage of likely ending up with wrong colors
for images, it would avoid getting pale yellow for black on white in
8-bit color. Try cleanly shutting down X under these conditions :-)
So for those who just like to have a less monochrome display (and cannot
use 16-bit internal video), it would be a significant improvement.

Best wishes,
