The network associated to a template or to *any* guest should not be 
removed or deleted - even if the guest is not running.
If we allow user remove/stop a network associated with a stopped guest, 
the user will not be able to start the guest again which breaks Kimchi 
usability.
And if we allow user remove/stop a network associate with a template, 
the user will not be able to create a guest from it (which also breaks 
Kimchi usability).

I think it is already implemented that way and I don't see any reason to 
change it.
Those kind of verifications were added to avoid users get inconsistent 
resources - templates or guests.
