FYI, so we're all on the same page here... My efforts aren't going to be "around about D7 time". If all goes according to plan (and all the current pledges of funding actually come through), there will be packaged install profiles on d.o in about a month or so. I have every intention to support fully packaged D5 install profiles. Of course, that doesn't rule out other install profile improvements once D7 development opens up. But, people shouldn't consider this functionality something only for the distant future. Cheers, -Derek (dww)
