Someone else had this comment, about hierarchal templates being maybe too 
complex.  I wonder if the concern is complexity for the client vs complexity 
for the server…?

This requirement is captured here:  
https://github.com/netmod-wg/template-reqs/issues/4.  I personally don’t 
support this requirement, if it entails having YANG for each template.
