Could I have at least three lines above the --- marker, please?

 (1) Defend _why_ this is a good change --- I would agree that
     this would make it more flexible, and I suspect that your
     main thrust with this is on some platforms (perhaps
     Windows?) you would want to have template_dir that is
     somewhere away from datarootdir.

 (2) an empty line between (1) and (3)

 (3) Signed-off-by: line.
