I think Vray defaults and future installations should default to linear workflow. This improves more accurate light falloff and reflectance.
What I propose:
1) Vray 'Color mapping' should be default to Gamma correction 1/.45454
2) All Vray mats should default to 2.2 gamma space (except where exr/hdr are concerned.) There would be a box which you could turn down in the mats if so inclined.
Inherent issues:
1) Max will not display vraymats color properly (by default) unless end-user specifies 2.2 gamma in max preferences.
2) In order to use standard max materials, you would still need a correction modifier such as colorcorrect to adjust back to 2.2.
3) MaxFB will display results as doublecorrected if #1 is applied.
