Templating systems we support. Or we just drop the builder pattern all

I skeptical of someone implementing the EmailAttachment interface on

I can't think of a case when someone said "dang it, I made too many
interfaces". In fact, I usually want to club someone over the head for
forcing me to replace a whole subsystem because the author failed to make
use of an interface.
