[systemd-devel] Dedup timers?

I have a number of timers that all look something like the following:

cat /etc/systemd/system/foo.timer
[Unit]
Description=Run foo every hour

[Timer]
OnCalendar=hourly

cat /etc/systemd/system/bar.timer
[Unit]
Description=Run bar every minute

[Timer]
OnCalendar=minutely

... (this list goes on and on)

The boilerplate for such small things is killing me. Is there a good
technique to replace them with something simpler?
Maybe transient timers? What will be the drawbacks of transient timers
comparing to regular timers?

Best,
Daniel
