It looks brilliant but I'm not sure whether the changes I've seen are due to my own setup or not. I changed the root profile for a couple of machines and although they started synchronising packages correctly for that profile, they didn't rip off the packages associated with the old profile, they seemed to ignore it instead. Has anyone done anything similar? Should I investigate further?

Intereesting finding. Actually WPKG matches the packages installed (found in 
%SystemRoot%\system32\wpkg.xml) with the ones assigned. Packages which do not 
exist any more in the profile are marked for removal.

If it doesn't in your environment it's likely a bug.

It would be great to get a full debug log. Further more maybe it's even required 
to get a copy of a sample wpkg.xml file of a host which isn't removing the packages.

Since I would be surprised that basic package removal does not work I've tried 
it with 1.2.1-RC27 right now with success.

Are you able to provide a log?
