Without my Zuul hat on but with my "I debug a lot of openstack jobs" hat I would prefer we remove ansi color controls from our log files entirely. They make using grep and other machine processing tools more difficult. I find the utility of grep, ^F, elasticsearch, and the log level severity filtering far more useful than scrolling and looking for colors that may be arbitrarily applied by the source.
