I completely agree with Ben on that. Another problem is that the 
quickstart templates are really one of the weakest parts of TG. It was 
like that in TG1 and it's the same in TG2. In TG1, we always wanted to 
refactor the template inheritance structure etc. but it was never done. 
It seems that it is already difficult to maintain one variant of the 
templates. If there are several variants, this will be much worse.

What's much more important is to make the quickstart templates really 
good and useful. Every Python file should have a proper encoding hint 
and a module docstring at the top, every template should have XML 
comments explaining what it's good for. The __init__.py files should not 
just be empty, but at least contain a comment explaining what the 
package is good for, etc.

The problem is not that there are too many files, but there are too many 
files whree you don't know what they're good for as a novice.
