Ah, I see it's still in our setup.py; I thought it was removed. Let's 
try removing that and see whether it's still pulled in. I think the 
consequences for backwards compatibility of not shipping with it by 
default are minimal .

+1 for removal. We had some discussion about removing the old template 
before, and we don't want to support it anymore. It hasn't been removed 
yet though.
