Well, if you would throw away you're preferences file, the nodes 
probably would become yellow ;-)

I perfectly understand the problem, I've often done that myself.

I thought a bit about it, but I have no idea how to implement it in a 
good way.

Problem here is, that currently nodes don't kwow any ways and ways don't 
know each other. So I really hesitate to do a bigger data model change 
only to implement this feature - who knows what it will brake.

Of course, you can add a ticket anyway (it's a good idea, but hard to 
implement), but don't expect an implementation any time soon ;-)
