Hi,

Sorry for the long delay, it took me a while to make up my mind about this.

So long story short, we won't be including this work in LXC at this point.
The main reason for this is that this is a rather big change, which will
require ongoing maintenance (whenever a template is added or changes)
for what feels like pretty low gain, our users typically are either
happy to call lxc-create again with the needed arguments or will create
a base container and then just lxc-clone it.

It's always hard to reject a new feature especially when it's clear that
you've spent quite a bit of time working on this but I think keeping LXC
simple in that regard is the right move for now.
