Ok, I have an idea, Robert, from now on we drop support for any
printer that costs more than $500 from Gutenprint, because clearly
these printers are used by less than 1% of consumers, and also they
are well served by commercial software. And we also drop support for
any gamut that is outside sRGB as 99% of all imagery is sRGB by
default.
