    After giving the request a comprehensive review, we have determined that we cannot include it as a candidate in an upcoming release because it won?t be pursued within our planning cycle.

    I can see why it might be desirable. But for us, the LCP profiles are quite static, so low priority.

    Configuration Management is helpful anywhere. Also would promote we take the configuration files to github or source code repository.

    Would something like the GDPSMNT EXPORT/IMPORT command address this? Thanks
