Mathias, the proposal is not primarily to force color on those who don't want it, but basically to make the code run as the original coder intended. Specifically, it will look at the COLORTERM variable as well as TERM, which will make it work in gnome-terminal. See also bug 103929. I imagine (and hope!) that there is a way to disable COLORTERM if you don't want color prompts. In any event, I believe this is a proposal for the skel bashrc, which power users routinely override anyway.
