How are we going to manage the products styles here? Since each product has it's own styles feature in the p2-profile, when installing a category, the carbon style changes to the installed product style. However if we want to install another product again, the style gets broken.

+ 1 for not including the product styles to the product categories.. Lets have a separate category called styles category and include all the product styles...
