This is better, but dircolors still outputs the hl=44;37 code
and so this will still be enabled by default.
This should be disabled by default, and IMHO
the number of links should be highlighted not the name.

hardlinked files are common. Consider dirvish snapshots for example,
or embedded systems with all duplicates hardlinked for space,
or local git clone, ...

cheers,
Pádraig.

p.s. you forgot the '* ' on front of the filenames in the changelog
