this sound very good. This way exceptions could be defined easily.
Let's say you have one switch where you don't want to monitor interfaces
but only cpu, temperature, etc..

Currently I use tests() or model() in bb-hosts. With you suggestion
it would be possible to create a template inheriting only the required
tests.
