I think that it is too late, regardless of our release cycle. "Plumbing never looks at color.ui" implies that "plumbing must not get color.ui=auto from 4c7f1819", but given that 4c7f1819 is from 2013, I'd be surprised if we stopped coloring output from plumbing without getting any complaints from third-party script writers.
