Yes; the subject of profiles and maps seems a bit much to expose to
users. I would rather expose them "geoservers" and leave the
definition of a geoserver (in terms of a profile+map) as something
that the only viewable in the configuration screen.

Information hiding; I do not want to admit to the idea of profiles and
maps to end users; I just want to admit that I have some OGC services
available.
