Comment:

 [27297] handles two common use cases:
  * Removing a page template you don't want to appear.
  * Renaming a page template (this runs post-translation).

 It deliberately prevents new templates, ''for the moment''. I didn't want
 this ticket to keep getting stuck on that without giving theme authors
 tools that are otherwise straightforward. (One use case highlighted would
 be a child theme removing a parent theme's template, for example.)

 By all means, the discussion for new templates can continue. As
 downstairsdev can attest, I do follow this ticket, as last night at the
 WordPress Austin meetup I knew he had posted a patch. :-) I don't really
 love what happens in [attachment:plugin.php], does anyone else have a
 preference?

 p.s. I didn't mean to omit props on [27297]; that was a group effort. I'll
 make sure people end up on the credits page if they don't otherwise.
