It's a fair statement, but, surprisingly, we don't have a profile enum.
The profile calculator parses all the various contributing attributes
and ultimately maps them to these strings.

We would need to extend the profile descriptor to add an enum, which I
think is reasonable, but short of that, there isn't another way.
