Your opinion. But it violates the open source Defnition. Remember you are
contributing to a open source project (or well, Heiko did).

So it's not something we should ship.

I didn't claim so. Still you can't modify it.

But a "random" color palette is not a standard. And saying that, by Debians
standards (DFSG, which the OSD is actually based on) standard texts or RFCs are
not suitable for Debian main either.
