This is an interesting option to have, all on its own.

This is a complete waste of time, IMHO.  The whole idea of this
"profile" is that everything is statically configured.  Why on earth
should slaves then adjust the intervals later on?

Nobody needs this.

No need to save on exit.  If you like, script pmc to do this for you.
However, a pre-seeded configuration option makes sense to add.
