Description

It appears to be that the primary use-case for someone considering profiles would be the requirement to modify an existing build in some way to accomodate a 'special-case'. As such, it seems to me that a mention of the activation option 'activeByDefault' should be added.
At present, the document implies that there either needs to be a change in the command line (e,g, "-Denv-prod") or some form of environment parsing to have the build run as before, whereas 'activeByDefault' show that's not so but is not mentioned.
