How would that help? The client isn't waiting around for it, because it
already closed its socket.

At least in recent versions, template1 is only the default template,
not the sole possibility.
In theory you could in fact run without any template1, but it would
break enough client-side code that I doubt anyone would find it useful
to do so in practice.
