Stupid question:  How do you edit the template?

Individual backends can be configured to not do any commercial 
detection, or meta-data lookup, and other stuff.  

Feature request:  When a backend is configured to not do something 
could the shut down procedure (mythshutdown --status or whatever 
it is) not prevent a shut down because there are pending jobs 
that that particular machine was never going to do anyway?  

And where should I submit feature requests to?
