Ah - don't think about it as people creating objects they don't want... 
Think of it allowing people to create objects they only want for a short 
space of time.

That works for UI type stuff. However, the use-case here is more 
batch-processing.

e.g.

load template stack
modify template stack (perhaps destructively)
export snapshot from modified stack to file
delete modified stack

Here, because you are destructively modifying a template - you can't 
reuse - you have to reload then delete.
