Sounds like the notorious "resolved-later" from Collab.Net.

I'm not sure if I got it right, but if hacking the colors is easy why
shouldn't we apply the hack even if it goes away with the next version?
We then still can apply the "real" fix but why wait until then?

Our own experience in development is that the "best" way to prevent
something from becoming fixed is to name the easy fix a hack and ask for
a "real" fix. Most often the result is that it stays as it is.

Ciao,
