Distributions use red for font-lock-comment-face because it is associated with comments, but yellow is something unrelated. Actually I tried on a Linux console and xterm and see the dark orange color instead of yellow. Orange is closer to red, so if everyone sees the same color similar to red then there may be no problem with this change. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
