Our selling point is modularity, yet the deployment could be improved
in some aspects. It would be great to get there also by providing
(yes) kernel-like detailed build options, something not present in
competing projects.
Qt Project is also quite modular if we need examples.

Enabling VIEWER profile is one of our advantages. Another one apart
form single-app-only profiles is: a build without pigment (they are
unusable for most Kexi users).

For me TINY is somewhat close to what ultimately be called MINIMAL and
as such it makes sense as generic template for people playing with
their own GUIs. But here I am unsure since one day the extended
Calligra Engine could provide 'modularized office application
development frameworks'.

PS: I am OK with all the proposals regarding making Author the full
app in the hierarchy.
