[QGIS-Developer] Profile plugins

[Wilhelm Berg]

Hi, I'm the developer of the VoGIS Profile Tool.

I understand the goal of unifying and it makes total sense to reduce
redundancy, but this plugin was contract work for the Austrian province
Vorarlberg (
https://vorarlberg.at/web/land-vorarlberg/-/landesamt-fuer-vermessung-und-geoinformation-lvg)
tailored to their needs (eg hectometers)

I have to consult with them about their thoughts first before being able to
provide any suggestions.

Cheers
