Well, I still stand by my logic; the user does not want two
*different* sRGB system profiles on one system and it's confusing to
have both in dialogs to choose from. The alternative is that I *hide*
at runtime any duplicate system profiles in the daemon.

I don't care so much for age, but I do care about adoption and users of the API:

http://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=colord
http://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=oyranos

colord does take some of the specifications you developed for Oyranos
and extends them significantly. I'm not sure how that's relevant here.

I think you probably need to link to actual things I've said rather
than overarching statements. I'm trying to help build a cohesive
operating system which doesn't allow swapping of core parts of the
system. I'm happy to work with you on specifications but I'm not happy
supporting an OS where one CMS is interchangeable with another when
the design goals are so different.

Richard.
