I see no issue at all with adding a (or several) new profiles that only build a subset of modules that anyone finds a useful combination, and they could be just committed without needing any consensus. The problems would come if we tried to make one of those subsets the build default. Also a worry is that with the testing spread out in lots of places we may not be testing properly by only building subsets, although that is partially overcome by having the Hudson nightly build keep building everything. ...ant
