[Inkscape-devel] default metadata in prefs?

Can someone please explain to me why we need 2 new pages in prefs for default metadata and license?

What's wrong with just changing the metadata and license in an empty document and saving it as a template?

Saving as a template is not obvious? OK, just make it more obvious. Add a "save template" command for example.

This solution is bad because it unnecessarily duplicates some very heavy pieces of UI, clutters the preferences, and generally makes the program look clunkier and less clean. It also utterly confuses the concepts of document preferences and program preferences, which should be kept as separate as possible.
