Yes, this is a really helpful approach to the new user. I think you can safely say that the commented out lines are worth to new users, and that advanced users who don't like them are pretty likely to be able to redo their paster templates themselves. Though that said, I have always thought it would be great for paster and in tg quickstart to have an option for a very verbose beginner friendly template. All the imports, all the common tools ( ie logger, .c, .g, etc ), ready to go and commented. Maybe that is something I could look into making for TG2 and pylons if there is interest.
