I'm glad this thread has been started so that we can discuss this a bit
before the meeting (it is on the agenda).

My view is this: I can see the usefulness of profiling. However at the
same time I am concerned that it will raise the entry level required to
join the docteam: in order to work on documents which are profiled, it
will be necessary to learn how it works, and this is non-trivial in my
opinion. This worries me because I think it is important that our work
be kept as simple as possible so that new users can join us easily and
get involved!

My 2 euro cents.
