Re: [development] register the install profile in system table?

In general...it will allow for versioning. We're really just at the early stages of this...need to get a couple out in the wild. This just "feels" like the right solution...

That's what I'm feeling. I've roughed in a patch at http://drupal.org/node/80272. The main change is generalizing the various schema-related functions. Currently they assume we're talking about modules. So we introduce a $type argument, so they can be used for whatever system item type. Anyone able to give this a review? Does this sound like the right general approach? Thanks.
