We may very well still end up with something hierarchical, but we can at least limit that to the parts of the profile where it matters. Maybe x86/BSD and amd64/Linux and amd64/Linux-hardened need to be interdependent. However, that still gets rid of need to deal with desktop environments, init systems, arguments over what belongs in @system, and so on. We could have a blocker mechanism to keep people from mixing systemd with BSD, or we could just let people shoot themselves in the foot. Sounds like a good time to start reverse engineering the profiles... Rich
