No problem, but i am a buddhist.

No, that is conscious.  The old colours were nothing but a hack
and announced like that.  Except for colour-pager and
colour-disable, which were already designed as being upward
compatible.  The new ones are upward compatible as such, they will
only gain some extensions over time.  No defaults, no.

That is, i stated it from the start that i consider S-nail to be
in transition until we reach v15.  In the meanwhile it has become
quite stable (or scratch the quite even!) and gained upward
compatible changes, but we are not at v15 yet.  For example, you
will be able to crash it if you create a loop by using the new
macros and interrupt the loop execution: it may take time, or not,
but after several tries you can cause a crash, if not in S-nail
itself then by caused data corruption in linked libraries.  All
this is owed to the BSD style signal handling of the codebase,
which will go away in v15, saving thousands and thousands of
signal related systemcalls over a week of use.  (I start it on
Monday and exit it on Saturday.)

As such you could see remove of colour defaults (traffic light
colours) as one step on the spiral staircase up to an acceptable
program state.
