FYI, old is new and new is old.  I copied the default value of `success'
from the old face definition of `compilation-info' that existed in Emacs 23
and older.  OTOH, colors of `font-lock-type-face' for grep are new
(6 months in the repository).

I agree, e.g. with my 10px fonts, bold is unreadable.
So I reset the bold attribute from all used faces.
Moreover, I customized this face to "ForestGreen",
i.e. to the color you are suggesting now.

So I agree it's better than the current face definition.
The only reason why I took the old value is because I thought
it's safer to use the old face no one complained about.

I think if we'll copy the face definition from `font-lock-type-face'
to `success', the former should not inherit from the latter,
because they are not logically related.
