     The problem with colors is that the use of colors in build logs creates
     very difficult to read logs if you don't filter them. 

This is true. But the build logs already dump some VT100 escape sequences,
(for vertical  cursor movement).  And they also have to be filtered, so 
if we say that colours are not permitted then we are not applying these
rules consistently.
