Harness templates, she notes, could let larger organizations share common guides and sensors — but the moment a team instantiates a template, it starts drifting out of sync. The versioning and contribution problems might be <em>worse</em> than with classic service templates, because guides and sensors are not deterministic artifacts. She names the problem and moves on.</p>
