1332	Templates (1.2)	elfin		"Requiring templates is a poor choice. Out of the box the only theme that will have a template will be whatever you add in. So this will be limited to twentyten - and that currently only works if you copy the included child theme to your themes directory. Many users will want to be able to use this straight away, and won't be able to, which will be a great shame.

What would be better is a fall back system, where if template exists, use it, else use built in functionality  - for this I assume it would have to be a shortcode, unless a better automatic method is available.

please, please reconsider the current process for this.
(with apologies if it has already been thought of and planned etc)
