Why is it called Universal Cura Settings

Initial settings come from some profiles released by Jonas Idebrant aka printingotb on the Cura Facebook Group. The main idea was to publish a Universal Cura Settings profile based on his own printing experience. I had for a long time the idea to create a plugin that could set some standard parameters instead of always using profiles. When we merge the two ideas you get this UniversalCuraSettings plugin.

Note: It's still a "Concept" use it carefully.
