I won't (can't?) overrule you. If there is a groundswell against the old
style, I will back down.

In fact, I'm a little sympathetic. But since I still see reports of
people switching from netsaint, I suggest we ship both.

I'd prefer to make the templated the master, but that would require
writing a different conversion tool to go from templated to old-style.
