Excluding standalone, development, and Whonix VMs, I like a small, medium,
large approach to TemplateVMs.

Small- doesn't even need a desktop manager like GNOME; xterm only;
required utilities only for sys-* VMs

Medium- the standard fedora-26 or debian-9 template with a handful of
small utilities for password mgmt. etc., for most non-sys-* AppVMs

Large- Medium plus Java, Libreoffice, photo editing etc. AppVMs based on
this never get a network connection and are used for document mgmt.
