That's not an issue - termcaps don't change all that often. We should
just import the new definitions.
That's a practical attitude, but it begs the question why it hasn't
happened in the past.
The practical attitude should be coordinated with ed@ (CCed), as he
switched the console in 9-current to be an xterm, and AFAIR it does
not support as much colors as the real xterm. Maybe there is a reason
to not update it.
Bye,
