10 It won't break anything if that's what you're worried about. The only thing
11 that uses profiles.desc is repoman, which can "handle" multiple profiles
12 listed. ... I just found that all duplicates have been removed from
13 profiles.desc. I guess people don't like noise. ;)

15 Okay. For the time being, there's a two things that can be done with repoman.
16 It could print out a table of the profiles it will use for scanning or add
17 the profile that was checked against into the arch-based failure message.
18 What do you think?
