While yum does have a download only option (and there is yumdownloader in the yum-utils package)... yum really shouldn't be overloaded to be a file sync tool. yum understands repository metadata about rpm packages... and I guess if all of the OS Templates were packaged as .rpm files it might make sense but for the tiny convenience of overloading a command it seems like a lot of work without much gain. I'm definitely against the idea.
TYL,
