Hi Michael,

I would encourage you to create a JIRA enhancement ticket for the use case
of modifying a template (unless anyone knows why that would not be a viable
solution).

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK/?selectedTab=3Dcom.atlassi=
an.jira.jira-projects-plugin:summary-panel

The only thing that comes to mind is that it would be hard to know who is
running with the old versus the new template (unless we started keeping
track of that info, too).

Thanks,
Mike
