On package defaults, I was just replying about color matching logic and 256 vs. 24bit color support.
I don't know why --enable-direct-color isn't turned on in distributions. Virtually everyone is using a 16 or 24 bit true color display these days.
I think there are a ton of compile-time configuration knobs so it probably makes sense to review what distributions ship, but what they ship isn't always optimal.

And it is enabled by default, so distributions should pick it up when they upgrade to a newer xterm version.
