Right.

Yes, that's also an option that I didn't mention in my original mail.
It's highly unlikely the profile is mapped to hundreds of different
devices, or that there are hundreds of profiles mapped to a device, so
it should be insanely quick to do this.

I didn't think about that case, thanks. Maybe just dump the
checksum-metadata idea and just Device.ProfileAdd the new profile. All
this can be handled in the daemon, and so can be done atomically as
one step and without any visual glitches.
