I agree with you about that -- I don't like per-DB templates.

I guess the challenge is that we might want to use namespaces to support
user-installable extensions, and namespaces reside within a DB. But I
think we can find some other solution there (e.g. user names rather than
schemas), and per-DB templates are just not a good solution anyway.
