Anyone figured out a walkaround for the 7.1 site style template thing?

Anyone figured out a walkaround for the 7.1 site style template thing? 

Can't change the template after the fact and its really killing me.

Squarespace 7.1 doesn't have templates any more, despite them calling the different starting points "templates". 

You should be able to replicate any of their "starting points" with font packs, preset colour themes, page templates, and section templates.

I don't believe that there will be template-switching available in 7.1, and if there was you would only get a blank website with demo content, which is equivalent to starting a new website.
