I think something that should be taken in consider if doing that, is
that the VM which the template is created from will stay in image lock
much longer.
Also what would be the desired behaviour if few of storage domains would
not be available, and will fail. (right now, if counting on the
AsyncTaskManager mechanism, the all operation of create template will be
rolled back, and the template would not be created at all.
