Re: Colored kernel messages on serial console

I take it as
  - We collectively do not want to add this feature to NetBSD.
  - Of course, anyone is free to do whatever they want.
  - Most of the concern was about color being problematic and logging of
    serial console bytes being more troubled.
  - There were a few comments of "why don't we make it an option" and I
    think that others may be worried that this will happen.  In general
    it is not a reasonable response to accept anything as long as its
    default off.


Personally, I see color on console as having enough problems* that I
think it's inadvisable to be in the tree, but if you want to do this
personally, I see absolutely nothing wrong with this and I encourage you
to experiment.  I am carrying a number of private changes which are
either not appropriate to impose on others, or are too half-baked to go
in.  When I fix something, or improve something, and I can say
confidently that it's approrpiate for all, I commit it.

* As will not surprise you, I also used a DECwriter, but it wasn't mine
  and I don't still have it!
