I agree that what is raw is impossible to define, and real-world RAW
files already contain some processing steps.  The engineers have to
make compromises, and sometimes miss the sweet spot as seen by the
customers.

FWIW, I find myself mostly on the side of the engineers rather than
the customers.  For example, I like the lossy compression of Sony's
ARWs.  The niches for which it fails (astro) may simply avoid Sony,
and all others can copy their RAWs in shorter time, from an
engineer's perspective.  But it's a marketing disaster.

Sony's engineers went too far with applying vignetting correction to
RAW files, though.

Tschö,
Torsten.
