That is a different meaning to "different" indeed :). You are interpretting
"different" as not-familiar or unkown, why I was thinking of "different" as of
just somethin else.

Maybe it is best just to smash together something and present it rather than
trying people to agree to what is to be done? Like vim-people did with evil?

A diffent profile could be just a bunch of settings in a file. Why not just take
a so called contermporary setup and put it in a init file, and add a customize
variable to let people choose it? Could that work?
