we have not so much syntax choices for  convenient templating. Network
temptales will be used by system administrators.
The '<%  %>' pair is a de-facto standart in this area. In the puppet world.
Not every system administrator will meaning ERB when seeing '<% %>' pair.
Another pairs (i.e. '<$ $>' , '<< >>', etc) looks more non-standart. Plenty
of syntax features are annoy and make usability of product less convenient.
I propose do not make extra essences on the clean area...

We never say in the docs about ERB. IMHO it's enough for leave '<%  %>' as
is.
