That means that the base profiles must have a minimal setting that is added to in lower profiles, rather than a reasonable default that's entirely reset in lower profiles (perhaps to a smaller setting), correct?= I'm not a huge fan of that, if that's what it requires, since there is no way of subtracting USE_EXPAND settings that I know about.
