I tend to take the template route almost all the time. This is in regard to
modifying JSON-based configuration files. I compose several roles and run
them against a host. Each role might do something very distinct, while they
all modify a common configuration file or add information to a meta-data
file. Since I have several roles none of which know about one-another, yet
all need to add some relevant data to a common JSON-based configuration
file, it would be convenient to edit this data directly since there's
really no single role from where I can define a master template.
