We're talking about deps-new and I was getting a bit cheeky, but I really meant: create a template, then create an application, and use it as a guide to modify the template. I sort of assumed anyone creating a template would always modify it, so complaining that it produced a library seemed odd to me.

People often complained that clj-new's template project wasn't useful because it was too minimal so when I made deps-new's template, I made it more complete - but figured people would still complain no matter what the default behavior was 😕
