"Migration to vanilla" usually means hand-crafting the config from 
scratch, knowing what they want, and what they do not, from e.g. Doom 
Emacs. And they usually continue using Evil as well, as well as many 
other third-party packages.

So a vanilla profile is not so important for them as it is for new 
users. But we could add some variation, of course, if someone wants to 
maintain it.

Fair point.
