=E2=80=9Cprofile=E2=80=9D is a tempting choice, but it=E2=80=99s treacherou=
s because we might be
blinded by the glow of the implementation of environments as volatile
profiles.  On the other hand: if we could also move some of the features
of the =E2=80=9Cpackage=E2=80=9D sub-command under =E2=80=9Cprofile=E2=80=
=9D (e.g. those that relate to
the management of, well, profiles), that could be a winning move.

Tricky.
