This is great to see all the work on .install files we've worked on
together turn into install profiles.

When Backstage (http://backstage.bryght.com) is updated for 4.7, we'll
be making it available as an install profile as well. I know there are
likely others in the works over the next 6 months or so.

Cheers,
