Well, profiles as they are implemented right now are not just parts of the config, but the whole config. And you can't just share your profile with someone and expect them to take parts of it. Either they replace their entire config with it, or they dont use it. This is why, we need a module or something to split the config up nicely and let you share small parts. > > Icon themes.
