Would it be possible for (let's say) all Cisco switches to share the same template?
It would much easier to maintain, and I guest it's only a matter of well crafted regular expressions
Two features on the roadmap (which I need to write up) would allow us to do this with less risk (and without complex error-prone regex's):
-test inheritance in templates
-the ability to specify additional non-default tests on a per-device basis
Without these features, the benefits don't outweigh the risks (in my opinion).
