I've already met the need to have B on a project based on XWiki. Like
Vincent, I would simply add B and makes A optional.

Hi,
The Template Provider allows setting the locations where the template
must
be available.
Some applications need/encourage their pages to be located in a
particular
app location.
Currently, if we set such a location for a template, the template will be
listed in the "Create Page" step only if the user navigates to that
location and clicks on the "Add" button.
One behavior could be that all templates are displayed each time the user
clicks on 'Add', regardless of the initial location.
This would mean splitting the current Location functionality into
"Template
Visibility" and "Creation location
restrictions":
- Ideally "Template Visibility" should not be restricted, but we would
need
to keep this field in order to be backward
compatible with the current
behavior.
- "Creation location restrictions" would indicate if the page needs to be
created in a particular location. The user will not be allowed to create
somewhere else and be warned by an error message.
This mail's purpose is to debate:
A. If templates should be visible everywhere or just in a particular
location?
B. Should we recommend applications to restrict the creation of pages to
a
particular location?
Let me know what you think.
I think there are lots of various use cases and that both A and B are
interesting to have. I wouldn’t deprecate what we have (i.e. A). I would
simply add B.
Thanks

Thanks,
