Merging of VCGT with the transform was thought of a feature. But I changed 
my mind about that regarding the colour server.
Its better to teach users not to omit VCGT in monitor device profiles 
for colour servers. On the other side, people who really want a 
calibration, for whatever reason, have still the possibility to 
use VCGT.

In my personal view they are rather obsolete. Lookup tables are precise 
enough in CompICC. Running a cheap Apple laptop monitor with osX with 
VCGT and Linux without, I never missed VCGT. On better hardware its even 
lesser needed.
