I wonder of us CS5 users will get an update to that 2012 profile? Hope so!
In Photoshop you can actually switch back and forth between the profiles.
There's a pull-down menu buried deep in the Camera Raw controls that
allows you to choose. So, updating to a newer one does not take away the
ability to use the old one if you need it for something.
