What would everyone say if the default RGB space was ColormatchRGB? Everyone would be up in arms, right? Well, it's the same thing with SWOPv2. As a straightjacket, you can't find tighter. We're 2015, people. The world has changed. Printers and service providers have become a whole lot more sophisticated with color management. More than ever, in fact. It's not about building the past, the past *is* behind us all. Let's stop living in the past and let's concentrate our efforts on building the future. Print is not dead.
Actually, I think the arguments on this have been made and remade here to the point that the horseflesh is getting a little putrid, but I will just go ahead and say that my problem with this argument is that it's self-defeating.
The first thing anyone who is even remotely "sophisticated with color management" has to learn is what color spaces are, where to set them, and what color spaces to use. And once they do that, then default color settings are irrelevant to then, so who cares what they are?

If a user is "sophisticated with color management", how would a default setting they can easily change be such a constraint?
