--- Comment #4 from Peter Toye <lo at ptoye.com> ---
Is the question why "none" appears as a category without any apparent function,
or is it whether a template should be allowed without a category?

What happens if there is a template file in the top level of a template
directory? Presumably it has no category, and this needs to be catered for in
the Template manager. If this isn't allowed, the template manager needs to
check and warn if it finds any such files; I agree that this is an extension of
its scope. If it is allowed, the 'none' category should stay - and then what
happens if someone decides to have a subdirectory called 'none'? This exposes
what seems to me to be a design problem - by using the same mechanism
(subdirectory) to expose two separate concepts (category and file container),
they get confused.
