That argument doesn't really hold water.  The amount of testing required by MS is identical here, because at least for a period of time users may have only the "Client Profile" installed and not the full framework.  Most of the other complaints about the "Client Profile" were, to me, stupid.  However, it makes NO sense that once installed the full framework will be installed via auto-updates.
I actually think it would make sense to push the .NET Framework via Windows Update, regardless whether the Client Profile is installed. It would push adoption of .NET forward. If every desktop had the latest version of the .NET Framework installed, we would have a lot less deployment problems.
