I'm evaluating 6.x-1.0-beta2. Core and a number of included modules have had security updates that have been released since beta2.

I haven't found documentation on updating/maintaining a Drupal site based on an install profile. It the procedure the same as updating a regular drupal site?

Looks like I need to keep /profiles/cod as modules and themes are located there.

How do I update modules? Replace the code in /profiles/code/modules?

Added new modules (i18n and translation_management) to /sites/all/modules without issue.

Nice multilingual walk through for Drupal 6 here, BTW:
http://drupal-translation.com/content/setup-multilingual-site

Just need to know how to update existing modules that have a security update (presently Date, Panels, Ubercart, Views, Views Bulk Operations).

Replace them in /profiles/code/modules or add them to /sites/all/modules?

Under advice from #drupal-support on IRC I've been replacing the modules at /profiles/code/modules without issue.

Found a nice article on migrating from an install profile.

And some Tips for building a site off a Drupal distribution.

Yes, that solution works. There's now a 6.x-1.x-dev version on http://drupal.org/project/cod which people can download and untar and that should work a little better (e.g. it will include any necessary patches to contributed modules).
