Perhaps in combinations with sets it would be possible to create sane

Hopefully as few as possible, since every extra profile means more
maintenance. On the other hand, on Exherbo profiles don't need to be in
arbor, so if anyone doesn't like how we handle them, they can keep
profiles in their own repos, should they want to...
When you use a distro as configurable & flexible as Exherbo, or Gentoo,
expecting the defaults to be exactly what you want is silly though. :)
I don't expect defaults to be exactly what I want, I do expect defaults
not to be totally insane. The last time I checked in gentoo, the default
for desktop profile had all of gnome, gtk, kde and qt enabled by
default. More important, I want Xorg on my desktop, however I don't want
packages in system to depend on X unless it's absolutely necessary for
either X or that program to function properly. So I don't want gcc with
gtk support, I don't want groff with X support and quite frankly only
binary based distributions currently seem to solve this, but then by
splitting packages.

Michael
