Hi,
Everytime I define my profile it increases consideraly in size. It happens because the file keeps old definitions for compatibility with older models.
OK, my question is simple (I think): what is the best way to erase this history, turning the profile to a minimal size. Is there a way to fine tune this, removing old versions to a certain time?
I had done it by hand (edit!)... but I'm sure there must be some API to do that. Just forget about it.
Thanks.

It's necessary to keep each "definition" if you have applied (previous
versions of) the profile to models. If that's not the case, or you don't
want to leverage UML2's "best effort" automatic migration support, it
should be safe safe to remove the older definitions from the contents of
the annotation.
