- clarify distinction between the concept of profiles and the directory where they are stored - highlight the helpful example - remove the voluminous example it doesn't help here because it's specific to how `nix-env` manages profiles via `buildEnv`. this would need dedicated documentation. - rename "Filesystem layout" to "Profile contents", add a redirect for the moved anchor
