Yes, 8-bit display is going fade day by day except of notebooks, however,
to have colormap entry just under the /dev/draw directory is better, I agree.

The color map is global, and corresponds
to what's programmed into the underlying hardware.
It's a small misnomer that the device file is
/dev/draw/nnn/colormap rather than /dev/draw/colormap.
