"Linear" is not a color space. There is more to a color space than the
transfer / tone response curve.

We could go into the details as to how to keep an EXR linear, but it would
cascade into complexity. Banishing all color transforms on a file format is
problematic.

The bottom line is that it currently is impossible to shift the primaries
of an EXR in any way.
