One answer
While I don't know if absolutely necessary, we use multiple profiles today (we are still on 4.x though, not sure if that would change when we update). The reason we do this today is that different users care about different artifact changes. For example, our business folks care about changes between business rules and use cases or stories, while our agile teams care about changes between stories, embedded functional requirements, and work items).
From an enterprise perspective, a business unit wants to monitor for impact analysis (changes to rules that may affect multiple applications) whereas they do not necessarily care about discrete functional requirements for a single application and the changes between them. Hope that made sense :). Comments

Thanks for the feedback, Carole. Note that once versioning is activated for a project area, the "what has changed" use case is primarily handled by the "compare" operation (comparing your current configuration with some previous state, specified by a baseline), while the suspicion/validity mechanism is primarily used for "propagating change" (making sure that when one artifact is modified, that related artifacts are appropriately updated to be consistent with the new state of the modified artifact). But if "compare" is used for the "what has changed use case", this does imply that you'd like to effectively have "compare profiles", i.e. indicate what kind of changes you want to filter out of the comprehensive compare report.
