If you're going to make template1 accessible via "trust" then you should
expect rather severe lack of security. Better put passwords on it too.

In a security-conscious setup, I don't see any good reason for anyone
but the DBA to be allowed to connect to template1.

BTW, there's no need to allow anyone to connect to template0 at all.
