This brings the CMM into the applications and the rending backend. For
what benefit? How does device link profile avoid the presence of a CMM
down the path?
As well, when a user wants to be able to select globaly a certain CMM and
his application opts in for colour management, as should be the default,
then there will be CMM specifics down the path in any case.

Agreed. And not only.
For instance it makes to bypass graphic gamma tables for preventing the
LUTs in reducing tonal differenciation to otherwise fine grained 16-bit or
HDR data.
