 The following page in the documentation (and the sage docstring for this
 method)
 [http://www.sagemath.org/doc/reference/sage/graphs/graph.html]
 states chromatic_number uses the less efficient DLX algorithm by default,
 as opposed to the MILP algorithm.

 It's my understanding that sage now includes GLPK by default.

 I'd recommend that the default be changed to the more efficient
 algorithm="MILP".

 I've already created a ticket
 [http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/12378] for the required change
 in documentation.
