OK, fair enough.

The only wording that doesn't mislead the user is something like:

"Uncheck this option to assign the GIMP built-in sRGB profile to your 
image".

Which brings us back to the fact that the user already has the option to 
assign the GIMP built-in sRGB profile, using "Image/Color 
Management/Assign".

And then there is "Image/Color Management/Discard Color Profile", which 
also assigns the GIMP built-in sRGB profile.

How many ways of assigning the GIMP built-in sRGB profile need to be 
packed into the "Image/Color Management" menu?

How are all these various ways a user now has to assign the GIMP 
built-in sRGB profile going to make things easier for users to understand?
