I like this, but perhaps we should hold off on merging until we have a few more options set? If someone inits with this profile, and we later add more things to it, they wont get those benefits.

As it stands, i'm not sure if these two options are worth enough to merit their own profile at this point.

Agreed, having an option to apply profile to the config after it was generated might be an option too, though for a separate PR.

We should add a lower connection limits here, also when we get this implemented, set the default for this to 'dhtclient'

This PR actually implements the routing option (under Discovery.Routing)

docs/config.md Outdated
- `dht` (default)
- `dhtclient`
- `none`
- `supernode` (deprecated)

Maybe 'laptop'? Honestly, laptop users should use this (less problems with random WiFis, fewer ephemeral DHT nodes, etc. Alternatively, we could have a separate laptop mode that occasionally reprovides pin roots.

Probably the second option, I meant this setting for mobile devices (Android phones, etc.)

"May affect node functionality" should be better described to tell what functionality it would affect. Seemingly, it seems to run the dht in client mode and also set really low ConnMgr values, meaning it would probably take longer to find and download content. Would be nice to add that to the description.

I would make Routing its own top level section, and then give it a Type field (so we can add other parameters later)

We should chose some connection limiter settings here. Would something like 75/100 work? Or is it a 'more testing is needed' kind of situation?

@magik6k I think that with dhtclient mode, even something as low as 20/40 could work well if we set a relatively high grace period (1m or more).

This LGTM, weird that so much of CI is angry though...
