As for the geometrically connected characters:  No, you would lose
information if you would downgrade to them.  The characters are not
there to be just eye candy, but they show you different levels of
augmentation, i.e. where the worm walked once, twice and so on.  You
can't give this up without seriously losing information.

And as for ANSI colours:  No as well.  The algorithm was designed to
work on the most primitive terminals by purpose, and I don't see that
adding colors here would be a very consistent way of design either,
regarding the whole OpenSSH project.  OpenSSH does not use colors
anywhere else for good reason, and so does the randomart algorithm.

I am afraid that at least I won't perform any of the enhancements you
proposed.
