They are, but it can be a good idead to warn them of the pitfalls ahead.
Many users seem to think that "enabling" color management will improve
quality. They use some default profiles or something without knowing
exactly what they do. Some of them then post on this list, telling us
how their colors appear all messed up, much worse than they were without
color management.
The current situation results in learning the hard way, including
wasting paper, ink and money.
