I don't know whether it was them or me, to be honest.  But I took a lot
of  flak when I made this change.  And at first, it took some thought to
know what was going on when I would peek into crafty's log file and see
-4.0 and think that it was losing, when it was playing black and winning. :)

Now it is natural to me, just like chess diagrams always have white at the
bottom.
