IMO Commerce shouldn't directly reference the user/customer profile entity into the Order, but just add a detached copy of that (the profile address), so that it might be changed/edited in the Order backend independently (might be needed, after a Customer request ... or whatever), without the consequent update of the original profile, and its instances in different/other Orders ...

May be entity revisions, instead of entity reference (and complete detach), would be a good way to go, as already mentioned in this previous issue "Improve profile handling"

Yes, revisions are the plan, that's why we're using entity_reference_revisions for the billing_profile reference field.
