I do it for reasons Andrew stated. Cause when you restore the templates from backups if they have the default name I've had issues.
Also I keep the default templates for basic vms I don't customize and keep separate template for more customized vms, usually which I consider less trusted. So just in case some bad driver or app I install that might comrpomise the template or if somehow some untrusted vm manage to corrupt something, just in case. For example I have custom template for disposable vm which I install printer drivers to. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
