Hi George,

I think you mentioned only two types of “profiles”: one is profiles
created by ‘guix package’ or ‘guix environment’ or ‘guix system’ (they
are all the same kind of “profile”), and the other one is execution
profile, which has nothing to do with that.

So to me it seems that “profile” is in fact used fairly consistently,
isn’t it?

However…

> 3) add a top level discussion of profiles

… we surely need this.  Someone we should clearly define “profile”
somewhere upfront.  Perhaps we also need a glossary.

Thoughts?

Ludo’.
