About extension profiles, wouldn't it be possible to clearly label which 
profiles are extension profiles and which are base profiles in the portal setup 
UI so as to be able to guess whether configuration made in the ZMI will be 
purged or not at next import time? Furthermore, the import/export tabs should 
display a reminder to which profile is currently activated.
