Yes, that's true and "right".

What's unpredictable is that it gets grafted in (at least to import steps, I
haven't tested export steps) even if you only *look* at the profile in the
Import tab. As soon as you select a profile to look at what steps it offers,
those steps are forever part of the registry, whether you run them or not.
