Or IBM profiles that must be on the system.  Or profiles that the
Vendor software in question creates (they charge by profile and then
create additional profiles?   Pretty neat trick!).

I'm all for reducing the number of unneeded profiles on a system, but
this seems a bit heavy handed on the vendor's part.
