My personal feeling is that this is the common use case.
my view is the use case of shared disk defined at template level is
nice, but can be done at a later phase. the higher priority would be to
actually support a shared disk, even if user needs to attach it to the
VMs they instantiated from the template.
so we need to remember the template use case, and not do things making
it more complex later, but can also do some validations preventing it if
it makes things more complex.
