Even though it is not the final word\naround here, I didn't see anybody else agreeing that having color.ui at\nthe begining would improve the tutorial.\n\nMany other things are probably as useful to have as color.ui there, if not\nmore, and we obviously do not want to list all the things some random\nperson found useful and extend the initial part of the tutorial to 100\npages before showing how to create the very first repository to a new\nperson.\n\nSo you have to do much better than just saying that you like color.ui.\nYou need to justify that it should trump all the other potentially useful\nconfigurations and added there.\n"}]}
