Yes, I think in emacs-29.  Why "radical"?

That's a separate issue, from where I stand.  Users can unset
COLORTERM, but their true terminal type will still be "hidden" behind
the "screen." prefix, won't it?  The terminal type is about more than
just the colors.  Or does terminfo know about this "screen." business?
