However, I agree with Boris Mann here: If there are some install profiles, the hosting requirements on drupal.org should be created. But install profiles should come first.
Until the chicken-and-egg issue is taken care of (why host profiles until there are enough to be worth it), what about simply having a page on d.o somewhere (probably in the handbook, linked from /handbooks so it's easy to find) that points to provided profiles that are hosted off-site? That shows that they're actually being built and gives a common place to find/publicize new profiles. Then, when/if they reach some critical threshold (defined as "when Dries and/or Derek decide it's worth it"), CVS can be enhanced as discussed.
Sure. Anyone can add book pages. I could add "as soon as there is an install profile more complicated than a simple language translation to link to" to be a bit snarky :P Note: I'd love to see different install profiles available as part of Drupal CORE. I have a very basic wiki page up about this: http://groups.drupal.org/node/2404 -- Boris Mann Vancouver 778-896-2747 San Francisco 415-367-3595 Skype borismann http://www.bryght.com
