Well I can only speak authoritatively for the type of profiles I deploy -
and some of it will require conducive applications and expectations, but
other solutions seem a whole lot of work.
For mandatory profiles, the only thing I need to change, are *occasionally*
I may need to add / delete / modify a shortcut.
If adding new applications to a server, there's a possibility that I may
need to recreate a mandatory profile, but I've never needed to, yet.
Otherwise, I use scripting to modify registry parameters (for those that I
need to do outside of, or in a more complex manner than GPOs).
To be honest, I rarely have to do anything with profiles, practically all
the work occurred at setup. I certainly don't have to do anything,
periodically, for maintenance reasons
