I haven't been paying attention here, so sorry if this has been
discussed elsewhere in the thread.

As far as I can tell, the face is meant to be distracting.  It's
supposed to warn when files are writable by other users.  Why would
this feature make Emacs users hate us?

If you really really dislike (hate?) the warning face, one thing we
could try is to make it red and non-bold on terminals that support
colors.  If that's an acceptable compromise, then we can safely go
ahead and make that change.
