How about second with a seperator between the profiles and the systems, 
or otherwise a 2-level menu that lets you pick first "profiles" or 
"systems"?

This sounds good.

Also sounds good.

Also also good.


If you can resubmit this as a patch I'll review and apply it.   

git-format-patch and git-send-email work really well for this.
