The organisation I'm working in has an installation profile for each site. In the profiles/customsiteprofile/* we have a custom theme and modules. The profile namespace is important to us.
We're also successfully running full config import after installation, it's pretty stable (the full content/entity import is way harder). So anyway, while I've known about the config_installer project for a while, we haven't been able to utilise it.
Assuming there is value here for us, it would be nice if we could call config_installer from our profiles. We use composer, which could theoretically put this code in a specific location and then our profiles could call on it or subclass it, or some magic thing. Have you considered this?

alexpottAlso there is a proposal to move the bulk of the functionality into core - see #2788777: Allow a site-specific profile to be installed from existing config - which is doing exactly what you want. Unfortunately I don't this is acheiveable with the current way install profiles work.

alexpottAs stated in #3 this is not going to be possible but #2788777: Allow a site-specific profile to be installed from existing config is exactly what you want.
