I think this whole overlay-in-core issue has kind of raised a fairly significant issue to my mind - who exactly is Drupal's target audience?

Everyone!  Anyone!  The whole world!

Which is of course a problem. "You can please some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time."

We do very much need to change that attitude, or at least acknowledge that there are *layers* of target audience that need to be addressed separately in order to be addressed properly. Insert smallcore debate here so we don't have to rehash it. :-)

I wonder if there is call to have a separate, supported install profile for more advanced users that does away with some of these things?

Thoughts?

That's what the "expert" profile in core is for. Everything is disabled by default.

'course, I don't recall the last time I used a non-custom install profile. All Palantir sites are built from a custom profile, although with drush and now features that profile is thinner than it used to be.
