How about changes be made so that colour coding/general systems are changed so that colour blind people *can* distinguish between them? Changing to red/blue would help with 99% of those who are colourblind (the Protanopia and Deuteranopia affected people, which is upwards of 99% of colourblind people - Tritanopia is the cause for some 0.001% of people).
I'd be interested to know how many colour blind pilots are out there - I think the statistic I heard is 25% of Western males and 10% of the world's population of males have some severity of colour blindness, although for many of them it's so slight they don't know - I personally work with a guy who never knew until he applied for a position in the ADF. It's pretty depressing (albeit understandable) when you're automatically excluded from a slew of jobs because of something you were born with - for me it was commercial pilot, SAPOL, MFS, half the jobs in the ADF, lab technician, just to name a few. It's more frusturating when you feel that being colour blind wouldn't matter, or if a different colour coding system was used, wouldn't be an issue. Just my 2c from a butthurt colourblind guy.

The main idea of "Inception": if you run a VM inside a VM inside a VM inside a VM, everything will be very, very slow.
