But that's just archiving, like rancid, right? Still doesn't have any
correlation to the template-management side of things. While having the
backups makes it easy to check for simple things ("do all my routers have
the right syslog host set?"), OP's question is about tracking what versions
of templates may have been applied to routers; if there's any complex logic
(like, "are all active customer routes on this device included in the bcp38
acl on the upstream interface") or site-specific things, that can get a lot
harder to audit without the metadata on how the configuration got there.
