Unfortunately that is also a big amount of work, and needs a lot of planning. So it won't happen overnight... That said... Changing profile on your local machine is not a big deal usually. And there just has not been the need for a new profile tree in the meantime.

Would be interesting to know what you mean exactly by "minimal" (there is no such profile) and "embedded". - -- Andreas K.
