The point is that you CANNOT us the templates because the required LaTeX
classes are obsolete and
thus even not available at CTAN. Moreover, even if you find them somewhere in
the web, what can
you do with your file -> nothing! No journal will accept this. Note that
template files are
thought as starting point for new files. And starting with obsolete classes is
senseless.
People do you whatever class they think look good without thinking too much
about what the class is
supposedly for.
It may be just because it has centered section headings like they want.
This is also my experience, but why should we encourage them to use obsolete
classes for that?
Removing the files would assure that people don't start new things based of broken code. The classes
are not on CTAN so people will wonder that their files won't compile on other computers. Keeping
these files only leads to problems and confusions and we don't please users. But LyX should please
the users.
