Yeah, I remember wondering myself, if this check is still in effect when
I posted. So I checked on my Debian stretch client box:
,----
| chrisbra@debian ~ % env |grep "TERM\|VTE"
| COLORTERM=gnome-terminal
| VTE_VERSION=4601
| TERM=xterm-256color
`----
so looks like it is still there.
Anyhow, thanks for adding this additional information. That is certainly
useful for the reader.
Best,
Christian
