--- Comment #1 from Lennart Poettering <lennart at poettering.net> ---
Humm, no. I am pretty sure a terminal that does not support colors is the
absolute exception these days. My phone ssh client certainly supports them.

I am also very sure that we should show colors by default. We use them
conservatively, and they are very useful to direct attention to important
fields or lines.

That said, I'd be willing to add support to turning of colors optionally, via
some env var check, for example if TERM=dumb is set or so. But it really should
be opt-out, not opt-in.
