Nice. That would justify the inclusion a bit more for me and I ALWAYS
turn off promotion and comments for page.<br>

I've been doing a lot of work on my own install profile over the past
couple weeks and agree with you there. You shouldn't have to worry
about the required modules since...uh, they're required. We shouldn't
give users the ability to forget to include node module (although
they'd probably find out really quickly). <span class="moz-smiley-s1"><span>

Yeah, that makes sense to me. You got any issues opened up for those?<br>
<br>
You have your install profiles somewhere I could check out? I found out
that in profilename_install() you don't have access to a full bootstrap
so I needed to do a drupal_goto('mymodulecallback'); in
profilename_install() that would do additional setup by way of an
installed auxiliary setup module. Is this what you're doing or am I
missing something?<br>

The reason they exist is historical, and is just for flexibility.</blockquote>

And for an upgrade path from 4.7.<br>

On the flexibility angle, I'm going to propose a patch with two/three
changes:
<br>
* page not promoted by default<br>
* page with comments off by default<br>
* (don't know if we can easily do this) page with "submitted by" turned
off by default<br>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote"
style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Having
two content types, even though identical in fields, provides more
<br>
flexibility in workflow. For example, one can be moderated by default,<br>
and have comments on by default, the other can be not so.<br>
<br>
In 5.0, you can define your own type, or delete story if you don't like
it.

I've been looking at programmatically defining new / different content
types as part of alternate install profiles. I spent some time on this
today and I think I uncovered some areas that could be improved in
default.profile -- some stuff (like required modules) should be moved
to system.install, and some things, (like defining page and story)
might work better in default.profile.<br>
<br>
I encourage everyone to try and make an install profile by doing "cp -R
profiles/default profiles/your_new_profile" -- I suspect this is the
"cut and paste" install profile method that we'll see the most of
initially.
<br>
<br>
I got pretty far today in perhaps an hour. I wanted to not have story,
but instead a replacement node type called "pressrelease".<br
