Development process

The server for Git and SVN combined workflow will be retired

Rule no x commit early and often is not the same with Git
A commit has way more content/value than a commit in the old days

https://profiles.tiki.org/ was launched in 2009 as part of Tiki3. We never decided on a lifecycle so data has been growing for years.

Next steps:

All profiles for unsupported versions of Tiki will be deleted. Already applied profiles are, as always, unaffected.
We will review the remaining profiles to clean up https://profiles.tiki.org/
We will leverage the recently created Tiki Profiles Tester
Decide about the lifecycle of a profile. Generally, a profile works for several future versions. But when it doesn't, what is the pattern? Some examples:
- https://profiles.tiki.org/Personal_Blog_and_Profile_21plus
- https://profiles.tiki.org/Personal_Blog_and_Profile
