There is possibly another option; if you make it fully pluggable,
i.e., not require any changes to the current make rules but only
need an include in your .local.make

    # local.make
    include make/colorful.make

that would help.  When something is broken, it's very easy to remove
it again.

The thing is, someone needs to support this.  If the world changes this
needs updates.  We'll get bug reports.  If you promise to support and
maintain it, that also helps.
