7 Unless we seed @selected with the extra stuff, it will get removed the
8 first time the user runs --depclean, which probably isn't what we

11 I'm fine with going the multi-profile route, but it seems to me that
12 we still need some kind of initial @selected set.

14 Basically the goal here is to give the user a bunch of useful stuff by
15 default (specified in some way in the profile), but make it easy for
16 the user to remove it if they wish.

18 A side goal is to do this without adding 14 more profiles, because we
19 don't have mixins.
