cupsICCProfile is a server thing which maps well to package distribution
and administrator configurations. Its thus not very well designed for
user configurations and need a complement.
colord is in my understanding a mixture of a server hooks and user
approach to getting user profiles involved. Oyranos follows a compact
approach of self contained documents without the need to modify system
components.
