You misunderstood.  We are not getting rid of the templates.  We
replaced the lxc-create script with an lxc_create.c program using the
lxccontainer.c API.

The lxc_create.c and the api do the actual basic container config
creation and creation of the container rootfs.

The templates are simply scripts which fill in the rootfs.  Those
*should* remain separate.  In fact we probably should be hosting a
repository of customized templates.  (That gets a bit touchy - there
are other projects doing the work of creating 'cloud images', and I
don't care to duplicate their work.)

> are we going to finish it before lxc 1.0? Because it seems like a bug.

Why?
