I'd like to change that behavior so that the toolset and steps are
reset when a base profile is selected.
+1 (unless I misinterpret the desired behavior of switching between
base profiles)
Hm a side effect is that if you select the initial base profile,
then an
extension profile, then the original base profile again, you
won't have
what you expect.
Because the "current base profile id" is not stored, there's no
way to
do detect the change to a different base profile. Should I store
that
property to allow for that use case?
Selecting a profile should never be destructive. Maybe I just want
to load new handlers or run a single import step.
But why not clearing the registries if a complete base profile is
*applied*? Even if it is the current base profile I can't see why
we would not want to do that.
This would work. But I realize that there's something else I want: I
want to be able to apply a base profile without purge. That's
important to refresh a base profile config without touching potential
extensions that have already been imported.
So just deciding to clean the registries when a base profile is
applied is too restrictive.

Yes. In fact, I would prefer to be able to introspect both "current
base profile" and "applied extension profiles" from the tool.
I don't want to go down that road. The next step would be to keep
track of the applied profiles a snapshot is based on. Things become
more and more complicated and we still can't rely on that
information: Sites created with older CMF versions don't have that
information and manual customizations can make it quite useless.
