Hi all,

I’m a newcomer of sorts but I would like a programming abstraction over profiles. It feels like some requests for better cache file state handling, declarative user services, and declarative user packages could be gained. Plus I think profiles are still maybe the most confusing thing to a newcomer and they are not explicit in the configuration.

- John
