This means conformsTo on the ro-crate-metadata.json is only for RO-Crate spec itself (considering it from a JSON/JSON-LD perspective) while profiles about the content/shapes of a class of crates are appliec using conformsTo on the root dataset (./)
This also makes it easier to link to other RO-Crates as a Dataset and saying they follow a particular profile -- however you would also need to add a subjectOf to link to their ro-crate-metadata.json in order to indicate it is an RO-Crate - so still not ideal.

To indicate RO-Crate following a particular profile, then move so "conformsTo" applied to "./" as suggested in https://github.com/ResearchObject/ro-crate/issues/153#issuecomment-1240446098 (and agreed in calls 2022-09-08 and 2022-01-27) rather than on
ro-crate-metadata.jsonentity.This means
