15 | favorite if foo isn't chosen. It's just not that big a deal.
16 | If the council chooses to address this issue I'm hardly going to

19 Somebody already pointed this out, but baselayout has nothing to do with
20 the profiles, where virtual/logger is specified. That's the base system
21 project, and in particular the arch teams. Although it's not clear who
22 controls the top-level profiles, since it could be either releng or base
23 the way I see it.
