{quote}Answer questions like, why is there both an applejdk and osx profile?{quote}
I would just like to point out that these two are not exactly the same.
applejdk is for Apple JDK (vendor = apple) whereas is for mac platform (os family = mac) - this could be Oracle JDK at the same time. But I'm not sure if -XstartOnFirstThread is really needed for all mac or just Apple JDK. -d32 on the other hand is only relevant for Apple JDK 1.6 which (usually) is both 32bit and 64bit (based on -d32, -d64 with an unpredictable default). Oracle JDK 1.7 on mac would fail right away with -d32 so "os family" cannot be used here.

> With introduction of new target-platforms, enforcement of usage of target platforms over repositories, usage of Maven mirroring on Jenkins... the parent pom has seen its responsibilities reduced.
> We should improve it to remove from it all legacy profiles and properties that are now replaced by more flexible mechanisms. Also, we should re-think some profiles to make them simpler to use.
> Goal is to make it easier to read, and then to maintain, without loosing any optimization we've made for end-users or CI.
