This is a matter of taste. I personally dislike the coloring, since
not all colors give a good contrast and for me it's unfriendly for my
eyes. If I were you, I'd put a shell alias into your shells init file:

	alias	ls	'/usr/local/bin/gnuls --color=yes'

But this is nothing for -current. And I think most of us dislike
such things...
