There is no problem with the sequences! Maybe I described that in a
wrong way. I was just "complaining" that in systemd 246 the boot messages
look like
[<green on>ok</green off>] Reached targert <bold on>Initrd Default Target</bold off>

The ascii sequences for the bold part have been added between 234 and 246
and I thought there was an option to remove only those sequences.
I understand that I can only turn colors and bold print off or on at
the same time. But it's ok as I've learned how to disable bold fonts
in xterm on-the-fly.

And it's really no big deal, sorry if I made it sound like a serious
problem :-)
