That would be a way of implicite CM-off.

In my understanding, The Gutenprint developers ask more of a explicite 
switch off. And ideally that would be documented, that print filter 
developers know during design of filters and maintainers understand 
related bug reports.

(The OutputIntent can be utilised as well as a explicite CM-off, but is 
not as flexible as the Gutenprint team requests.)
