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=com.atlassian.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).
