Urm, to just add my two cents here, but I'm assuming xavion has grown used to the former pacman-color. As someone who is regularly annoyed the fuck out of by things that change outside of my control and as I'm not really over the no longer so recent coreutils ls(1) change, seriously. We're geeks and we know where we want moving parts, and sometimes we just need something that stays the same even across project boundaries and/or merges, if I'm reading this correctly. If this justification doesn't count, take this as a call decision, because I don't think there's any party with any other more relevant argument.
Cool, I think someone has finally spoken up in my defence (assuming I read that correctly). Consistency is the name of the game here, and the current "-{Q,S}i" output falls well short of the mark in that regard.
