Yes, maybe. How about in the other direction: move them all to maintainer-handbooks.rst? After all, maintainer-entry-profile.rst says: For now, existing maintainer profiles are listed here; we will likely want to do something different in the near future. Also, does anyone know why some of these profiles are numbered and some are not? See https://docs.kernel.org/maintainer/maintainer-entry-profile.html#existing-profiles for odd numbering. thanks. -- ~Randy
