I've never felt any need or obligation to use a developer profile. I don't think I ever saw any announcement to that effect either. What is the use of a developer profile?[1] Someone in the know, please sell it to me. :) Regards, jer [1] I've seen developers complain more and more about failing test suites. Maybe that's a related issue? Developers now use the FEATURES set out in a developer profile and can then extract some kind of validity claim from the fact that I obviously didn't do my QA? That would explain a lot.
