1) I'm not having issues with colors in aterm, rxvt, or xterm.

2) no opinion, but some users may prefer non-login shell terminals
(typical for most other distros as well)

3) works just fine without that...are you sure you picked the correct
keymap?

4) happy with the way it is already.

Did you use 1.5.0 to install or make other modifications to your system?
I've never had a problem with color or keys so long as I pick the
correct keymapping.
