--- Comment #20 from Antonio Russo <aerusso at aerusso.net> ---
It was never impossible to print bold red:

echo -e '\e[0;38;2;255;0;0mred \e[1mboldred \e[0m normal'

The present patch (270d6ea32) is essentially equivalent to setting all the
intensive colors to the same color as the normal ones.  (Note that the 90-97
character codes used here as an example are not standardized---see
https://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/Ecma-048.pdf or
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code .  We interpret these codes on a
best-guess basis.)

Please see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=430311 .  I am preparing a
patch there that:

- fixes the light color themes (as mentioned here they have reversed intensive
semantics);
- uses bold fonts unconditionally for RGB and 256-color spaces (there is no
intensive color meaning when a specific color is mentioned as here); and
- again allows for intensive colors to be used.

This avoids breaking decades-old expectations without impeding the development
of modern terminal color schemes (use RGB for those).
