Ah, from p. 222:
A key benefit of the color space conversions that RCM applies is that no image data is ever clipped during the Input to Timeline color space conversion. For example, even if your source is log-encoded or in a camera raw format, grading with a Rec. 709 Timeline Color Space does nothing to clip or otherwise limit the image data available to the RCM image processing pipeline. All image values greater than 1.0 or less than 0.0 are preserved and made available to the next stage of RCM processing, the Timeline to Output color space conversion.

I, too, think that Stalmann's Free software is dead and that Open
Source managed and supported by big companies is now predominant
(Linux Foundation). Just look at the success (I think deserved) of the
Rust language, which is replacing other languages, however with the
side effect of eliminating all GPL licenses in favor of MIT and Apache
licenses (they have now remade the GNU core utils in Rust). Praise to
CinGG (and you few contributors) who still follow the beautiful idea
of GG and Phyllis!
