-### Known (current) limitations ###
+## Known (current) limitations
 - Not all data source connections might be recognized and imported/removed
 - Not all data source connection types are supported
 - Python expression functions are not supported
 - Not all style things are supported, e.g. not 3D symbols, color ramps,
   tags, etc.
 - Errors might not always be communicated clearly so please TEST your
   migrated configurations before discarding originals!
+- Creating a new profile does not lead to the same result as creating
+  a new profile in the QGIS GUI, e.g. the QGIS3.ini is not populated
+  with defaults.
 
-### Funding development ###
+## Funding development
 If you consider this plugin useful and would like to see it improved, e.g.
 with support for more profile settings, becoming more stable, being more
 thoroughly documented, leave the "experimental" plugin status or whatever
