Yep.  I don't mind it on the Debian distributions.  I go into my ~/.bashrc
and disable everything to do with color.  Still, the discussion needs
to be beat into the brains of everybody out there who influences
the colorization of "plain" text.  And that, it seems, is more the Red Hat
and SuSE distribution folks than gnu utils folks.  Quixotic?  Probably.. :)
