Bluntly, why should the tree be modified for a minority? Being generous, lets pretend y'all have 300 users- why should incompatible changes be added to the tree (say 300k users) that can bite 299,700 users in the ass for the benefit of 300 users? N parent inherited profiles *is* a change that can bite users in the ass, and it's not an obvious incompatibility unless you know it exists.
By this logic, let's remove all the default-bsd, default-darwin, embedded, arm, and sh profiles. They're only used by a tiny minority, and switching an x86/linux system's profile to one of them will hork things majorly. I'm really not seeing your argument here.
