Definitely!
Well, yes, a default color filter file should definitely either be a user file or a system-wide file, given that, at least in Ethereal as it currently exists, it *has* to be one of those.
My question, however, was "which one of those should it be?", which is a question for which "yes" (or "definitely") isn't a valid answer. :-)
Display filters change over time, so we really need to verify that the default ones remain valid when upgrading (this also applies to color filters). Maybe we'll have to provide a script that replaces outdated protocol and field names with the new ones. As a matter of fact, this also applies to preferences.
For preferences, that shouldn't be done in a script, it should be done in "prefs.c" - there's a large chunk of code in "prefs.c" to do exactly that.
