Which would mean: if I change a template later on, all the lists adopt behavour.
I'm not sure how easy it is to implement that.
Also, I think Abhilash suggested it might cause more problems than it solves. Sure, if you get an improved version of a style (say, it manages to make anonymous lists more anonymous) you'd like that to apply to all anonymous lists. But there are some changes that probably shouldn't be made to all lists using a particular style, but you want them to constitute a new style. Then you either need to make a mixin style, and apply it to all the lists that need it, or you need to "freeze" the configuration of all the lists that shouldn't get it. Both approaches are fairly annoying, and a change that makes anonymous lists *less* anonymous could be outright hazardous to someone's health.
However, that isn't the current way. However, currently, the template is copied into the list config at creation time,
That is what "template" means, after all.
