Re: colorls in base

There's a topic on peace-keeping in a large project.

There are two types of feedback:

- "this change makes the code simpler and twice as fast" (it's
  objectively better)
- "I like colorful terminals" (my personal opinion)

Objecting to a diff like this causes friction. I like Rin, and I don't
want him to get the habit that his changes are unwelcome. So I try to
avoid unnecessary complaints on things that are personal taste.

Bikeshed type discussions in general are very draining, and topics that
are accessible to a wide audience like color in shell commands are prone
to them.

When your complaint is:
- The default 16 color scheme includes colors that aren't legible to my
  colorblind self, and excessive use of color by defaults hurts terminal
  legibility for me.

It's objective feedback, and I hope we don't default to a colorful
terminal without addressing it (since doing so is a lot harder, I don't
expect this to happen).
