+defining a function that returns a valid NixOS module, with the added restriction

 (use [modules](modules) instead). Their purpose is to provide abstract
 expressions suitable for reuse by multiple deployments. They are perhaps _the_
 key mechanism by which we keep this repo maintainable.

 It is okay for profiles to depend on other profiles so long as they are
 explicitly loaded via `imports`.
 
-Optionally, you may choose to export your profiles via the flake output. If
-you include it in the list defined in [profiles/list.nix](profiles/list.nix),

+## Suites
+
+[Suites](./profiles/suites.nix) are simple collections of profiles that can be

 ## Users
 User declarations belong in the `users` directory.
