The current structure actually does support this, in a way. The current profile is the default, and if one day there really will be people packaging other profiles, then KDE:Profile can be simply added as a specialization. I personally think that doing more would be thinking way too big.
Gentlemen: I would like to make an observation re; labeling. I understand the consternation the subject causes almost everyone. The problem with labels is the background of whoever is making and reading them. Simplicity is also the key and part of the problem. Developers/programmers have a special language and words have specific, special meanings many of which are a foreign language to the common user. As an example think of what the term factory means to each . Factory to the user may mean the place you go to get the original whatsis. To the developer it may mean the place you go to get the latest play piece of the whatsis. Confusion is the result. Many users, who encounter the confusion simply say, screw it and go on to something else rather than get embroiled in some seemingly petty argument. The solution is not really obvious. The choices are to create a new common language, or keep things as they are and explain things repeatedly, or seek the common meaning of terms and use them. Either may require having a document which defines the use of each term and provides a standard for the developer. If the greater number of readers are the users then the preferred method might be to use the common definition. Since there is no 'Term God' that I know of, someone will have to step up and become Him, maybe? My suggestion would be to adopt the common meaning rather than the special meanings to the developer. Regardless, it's good to know you folks are at least addressing the problem of communications. I'll add my thanks to all of you for your unceasing efforts to improve the Linux experience.
