1. We suggest that every software developer decides for himself how to proceed ;)
2. Most probably.
3. LibRaw supports more cameras than Adobe do in their public releases. For the cameras that are supported by Adobe we mostly use Adobe matrices. Normally we add comments when we don't.
The "off" look depends a lot on how one maps values to RGB working space. If simple clipping (especially to sRGB) is used and the tone curve is "simple", things may be indeed off.
On a side note, LibRaw is not meant to be a full-fledged raw converter, the colour rendering is there just for the purpose of having a preview.
