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.

cheers!
