If it is policy, shouldn't it go in the dev manual rather than in this
file?

Given that, I have questions:

There are several situations in profiles.desk where one profile is dev
but some profiles that inherit it are exp, for example, the arm
profiles.

Which rule applies in this scenario?

Also, from a maintainer's pov, what is the difference between stable and
dev profiles?

Thanks,

William
