I actually *prefer* the template-edits. No matter how you do it you have to add *something* to regular vB.
There are mods which inject their code into existing templates and thus they require no template-edits. However such injections are not handled on a vB update at all, the upgrade/diff system doesn't even see them. So they might simply stop working on a new version 'cos the injection code doesn't find its target anymore.
With template edits, the regular diff system will pick up problems. Easier.
