Ok, sounds cool. So one profile will simply list installed distributions
and the other profile all the modules, yes?

I think the distribution can be an option. I think mix and match can
work here. I think some people like having the distrubutions around (i
do) but most people probably don't and for a small fix where nothing
changes in the distribution but the JAR it would suck to have to
download the whole distribution again. Maybe some thought needs to be
put into how distributions can be updated in a more granular fashion. A
java version of rsync to update distributions? I don't know. I
personally like distributions but I think that could be rather tedious
for someone who just wants to build for the first time. If someone had
to do this for turbine it would be quite unmanageable: they would have
to wait 10 hours before they could compile anything ;-)
