I'm begining to think that there is no point to a Profile without a DeploymentRepository though. The reason is that at its most explicit a profile has a list of URLs/URIs that define the deployments in some VFS. However, even include the VFS protocol is an implicit repository notion that would more generally handled by the DeploymentRepository and the profile would be relative paths against the repository. More generally I'm working toward much more abstract profiles that have to be resolved against a repository. The repository still is an implementation detail as there is no need for it to be exposed from the profile, but the profile is also not useful without the repository.

Your moving away from the Profile exposing deployments as VFSDeployment right? I don't see the ProfileDeployment in trunk, is it somewhere yet?
