The CVS usage policy page (http://drupal.org/node/103704) needs to be updated to include the new profiles directory. At the same time the contrib README.txt should be updated with the same information. I would do this myself but am not sure if it is OK for me to change both of these docs without a CVS admin giving the OK. If I *can* do this, just let me know and I'll take care of it.
Some proposed text:
modules/
Contributed modules. Development versions go into HEAD, not to a sandbox.
profiles/
Contributed installation profiles. At this time, only files ending in .profile or .txt are allowed to be
committed, since installation profile maintainers should *NOT* include
the code of the modules that are enabled by their profiles.
theme-engines/
Engines on which at least one contributed theme is dependant.
