Sheer laziness, I guess... I started an XYZ colorspace, but we needed lab much 
more so XYZ never got finished. Didn't you remove the files?

I'm not sure. I've actually today received my new camera (a cheap but very 
nice fuji s6500, bought specially for taking to Canada) which can do raw, and 
I'm a bit disappointed with the digikam raw handling. It would be easy to 
integrate into krita; just make krita kipi-compatible, and presto!, but it's 
not very friendly and doesn't work very reliably. Next, I'm going to 
investigate Hubert Figuere's libopenraw and see what that can do for us.
It's early days anyway, for raw & 2.0. There's much more to be done before we 
have to decide which way to go.
