Sorry if this comes through twice.  Apparently thunderbird's "Reply to list" thought I meant to send it to devel-announce, not devel.

There seems to be a general desire to have a colored prompt like other
popular distros, which commonly use green etc, though some concerns
were raised about colorblind users. However given that the original
prompt was black & white, and the new one while colored will still be
essentially monochromatic, it should be less of a problem and users
will easily be able to turn off or change any color introduced.

So, a personal anecdote, but to provide some food for thought in favor if this:

I know it's ridiculous, but early in my playing with linux history, I was very turned off by Fedora for _precisely_ the fact that the prompt color default wasn't something more along the lines of what other distros did at the time.  (These were back in the late single digit/early teens Fedora days).  Any time I tried to stick with Fedora, this was always something that eventually made me want to switch back to something else.

Nowadays I powerline and move on, but some food for thought.  It just didn't make Fedora feel "cool" or "modern".  No matter how silly that thought actually was.
