21 Pieter -
22 As of now, there is no official policy. As arch lead though, you have
23 control of your profile; so if you want to deprecate it, it is your
24 perogative. Note though, that how profiles are handled is going to
25 change for 2004.1. Seemant and Pebenito are working on stackable profile
26 integration that will enhance and clean up our current profile
27 situation. Stay tuned :)
