With my latest VLAN resolving commit [1] Stig noted that we have some inconsistency \
where we search for personal configuration files.

Loading hosts from a profile folder depends also on a preference.

As Stig has suggested it would make sense to have one logic for all such files.

Any opinions?

I favour way 2 (first current profile -> fall back to default)

Cheers
Uli
