I'd say we should try to drop the DUMP keyword before the next beta if 
we can and if other devs don't expect a problem with that (maybe write a 
motion and discuss it, like we did for the removal of symbol keywords a 
few days ago). I'm thinking especially Assefa and Steve may have an 
opinion on this.

With respect to the template vs query thing, I don't think we should 
touch it.
