I posted that somewhere else. Just to be sure that it gets on your list.

I am building a site where I am ending up having 20 template pages or so. This is, because on each page there are minor changes, such as, only this web part and not this one, etc.

Even if the templates prove to be very flexible with feature such as hide on subpages or do only show on these types of documents.

Now it would be very nice to be able to share a web part configuration across many templates. Let's say I configure one news repeater, save this configuration and place it on many templates.

After the site is done and I want to chnage let's say the sort order (stupid example - but whatever) I do only chnage the configuration once and it applies to to all templates.
