OK -
I am going to try and make sense of all of the good discussion here by
putting it into a draft proposal. From what I have gleaned off of the
thread, this is the implementation that we are looking for regarding
general profile policy:

Profiles will adhere to the following layout standard:
default-linux/$arch/20xx
default-linux/$arch/20xx-r1
default-linux/$arch/20xx-r2
(and so forth)

Each year, a new profile has to be created (20xx). Each subsequent major
revision to the 20xx profile will be marked as -rx, where x is the
revision number.

The top level arch directory (default-linux/$arch) will contain a
ChangeLog that will serve as a record log for each profile revision and
change.

How does that sound? Am I missing anything?

Cheers,
