Not keen on it either, I definitely don't like introducing API and
class names and especially pointers like that when we have no idea
what the future implementation will look like. Seems we're locking
ourselves into something that we don't know is the right way.  Do we
really need to do this in 5.0?  Was there an API review done on this?

I'm a bit late to the party, but with my printing hat on I'm
interested in this for the new print module which we want to be color
management aware.  We will need equal support for Windows, Mac, colord
and Oyranos.  There is a Linux color management hackfest [1] planned
for November that I plan to attend that others may wish to join as
well.
