Not sure if it was mentioned, but number of CPUs/cores in a given profile would be nice (it is potentially of similar importance to the architecture). Whilst with clouds as of now are not too interesting in this regard, surely that will change as more cores are crammed onto the harware that people are putting in datacentres.

need arch in HWP.
Even if it does double the number of HWP, I don't think that's a big

deal. We'll need a way to express those things in HWP's more concisely,
anyway (as was discussed with the memory ballooning that Rimu supports),
and in that revamped HWP description, arch will just become an
enumeration.
