Re: highlighted (was: colored) kernel messages on serial console



	hello.  If I'm working on a machine with a serial console, which I do often, I am often
dumping the output of that serial console into a file for post-operational analysis.  I'd much
prefer not to have to deal with the extra ASCII characters generated by ASCII color escape
sequences or the characters needed to cause a vt100 to perform overstrike or bold.  So, I'll
repeat my request that if it's a feature we want as a community, I'd like it to default to off.
Perhaps, to make it easier for folks to switch it on, we could add a boot option to enable it.

-thanks
-Brian
