I actually am one of them (light cyan or green on white background with small font is very hard to read for me), but I think you are missing the entire point, which is not "is anyone harmed?" This patch is not even about deciding if colored output should be the default. That has already been decided by documentation for us long time ago; the patch does not have to (and should not) argue for and justify why color is good. Our recommendation has been "use color=auto", and change of the in-code default is merely to make the default in line with that recommendation. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
