Ryan, I don't see why this would be an issue. If a specific template on Commons
is unwanted locally, just create and lock a local template (something as simple
as "This template is deprecated"). Then, the Commons template will never be
available locally. Given that the non-viability of a Commons template would
have to be determined on a case-by-case basis, I don't see why this would be
any real hardship on the local projects. I would imagine that such situations
will be fairly uncommon.
