What is the probability that this breaks any existing schematics and how
soon could the color issue be resolved?  If the risk of breaking
existing schematics is very low and the color issue can be resolved
reasonably soon, then I would consider merging for the stable 5 version.
 Otherwise, we should hold off until the we open version 6 for development.

Cheers,

Wayne
