That's a fair point. If ansible is being used for end-to-end server
configuration (as is often the case) it will have to create the file anyway.

However, one thing that could be improved here is the documentation --
mention in the "template" (and "copy"?) module docs that write access on
the directory is required and why (due to the atomic temp file/rename
magic).
