I for one think this is a pretty good plan; certainly it's at least a
great starting point. Being able to have a separate profile for testing
would be good.<br>
<br>
A couple of questions:<br>
<ul>
<li>Can this offer a way to migrate profiles back and forth? I expect
it will be common for people to want to replace their new profile with
the old, or vice-versa, due to bugs, "ageing out" of one or the other
profile, etc.</li>
<li>How does this proposal deal with the beta channel? Is it treated
the same as the release channel? That's not specified in your plan.<br>
</li>
</ul>
