It's an in-joke among the people who write installers. They laugh 
everytime someone says "Installers need more colors"

The document has been extensively revised, and all the comments have 
vanished from it. Trouble is, it still contains the same mistakes. In 
fact, it even adds a few new ones! (E.g., on a bank holiday, don't just 
skip the tape that would have run, make the whole of the rest of the 
sequence slide backwards by one day instead.)

I give up...
