Not at all, quite the opposite!

The goal is to separate the color from the boldness, have one no influence on the other and vice versa, so that every combination is clearly reachable.

The new value of this new API setting reaches this goal. This is not the default yet, it'll probably take many years (if at all) until we can switch the default to this, and probably many more years (if at all) until we can remove the legacy (current default) behavior where boldness also implies brighter colors.

See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=762247 (esp. comments 1 & 14) for details.
