Profile rc idea

Hi list,
It would be interesting if rc was extended to support profiles. Each
profile would reflect a different system configuration. For example
profiles could describe the computing environment at: home, work,
friend's house, airplane, etc... The active profile the system uses
could be chosen based on some contingency condition. For example,
simply prompting the user to choose an rc profile at boot, or using
hardware to choose the profile (e.g. like location based contingency
using GPS hardware), or whatever... I guess this only pertains to
booting though, but rc seems like a natural place to do this. Thoughts,
comments? Yet another idea I have no time to try...
Best Regards,
Nathan Lay
