This is particularly useful for UDP collection, as there is no feedback mechanism to let the sender know that the new template is invalid (while with TCP, we can close the connection). If we keep the old template and the sender sends data records which use the new template, we would try to decode them according to the old template, which would cause issues. Instead we will ignore data records for that observation domain and template ID until a new valid template is received.
