Template behavior change in TeamCity 8.0?

It seems that the template behavior has changed from 7.1.3 to 8.0:

• The 'Associate With Template' button only appears for build configurations that have templates in the same project.  In 7.1.3, I could associate with templates from other projects.
• I can no longer move build configurations associated with a template to another project (that does not contain the template); TeamCity displays an error in this case, stating that the template will not be accessible in the new project.

Was this behavior changed for a reason?
