But you still can do that. If you do not want the jpg processing to happen , then simply don't make C settings with that.

But that’s my point.

If you don’t want JPEG processing, by definition you’re shooting raw, and as I said, I think for those who only shoot raw, conflating operational (pre-exposure) and image (post-exposure) settings is not a big deal, because it’s equivalent to just operational settings.

If you’re shooting JPEGs then by definition you do care about processing and then for many people that conflation becomes more of an issue.

My guess as a raw shooter is that you need some discipline. What shooting situation happens often enough to warrant a C setting. I'm not sure I'd need / use all 7

Personally, I can think of about three or four main ways in which I’d configure operational settings, but I find seven sets of image processing settings isn’t enough—I’d happily have a dozen or more (and given the way it’s implemented on the non-PASM cameras, ie not on a marked dial, there’s no technical reason why we should be limited to seven).
