Another one is that connecting to systems that don't support xterm-256
is not quite easy. In particular, there appears to be no way to
configure ~/.ssh/config so that "ssh oldhost" (and "ssh oldhost
arbitrarycommand") transparently changes the TERM value - one would
have to set up shell functions or something similar. An extension of
the ssh would be very nice - and failing that, an explicit recipe how
to override TERM correctly would be welcome as well.
heh, that's exactly why this cruft ended up in my .bashrc :)

and that is just to get any colors at all...
