Good idea Matthias, like Wouter said. we have been discussing this, I do like the idea of defining a directory where it can decide to use those templates instead. of having to rejar the entire cartridge. If you can add an issue to jira: http://team.andromda.org:8080/jira so that we can keep track of this, that would be great. Put it under the CORE project.
