Thank you for this indexing effort.

Yes.  I think we want the list to be more ambitious. For now, it'd be nice
to see, at a glance, what we would ideally like to configure via profile.
Then we can narrow down to what we are realistically and practically
capable of doing. And, in any case, no one profile is obliged to set all
the things that it can set.

I think the separation into categories is very good. E.g. If there is an
"external package" category, it is easier to tell if a particular profile
installs packages, i.e potentially needs internet.

A "global kebinds" category is probably also warranted.  cua-mode should
fall into that, I think. Viper-mode would also. Curiously, evil-mode would
fall into both "external package" and "keybindings". Maybe we need tags...
