When and why Emacs developer change 'faces'?

When and why Emacs developer change 'faces'?

[Oleksandr Gavenko]

For example in Emacs 22.2-23.3:

compilation-info:
            [X] Foreground: Green3     (sample)

But in pretest Emacs 24 (from alpha.gnu.org):

'compilation-info' inherited from 'success', which is:

     Foreground: ForestGreen

I also remember another face changes for c-mode.

What rationale take in account when developers decide change faces?

PS. I don't dislike changes, but every times this surprise me ))

In this particular case the rational might be more consistent UI
through the inheritance.

Open source is the future. It sets us free.

also take in account the weather.

Currently I got issue:

   http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=9892
                Low contrast for 'font-lock-builtin-face'
                with white background.

My problem come from white background. In time of change developer use
dark background and can distinct "black" and "dark slate blue",
but on white this is too hard...


Also any can follow discussion:

   http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=6693
                font-lock-(builtin|doc) faces are *way* too close
