Since dispatch templates do not have anything for CX users to edit, one would not add slots to dispatch templates.
However, if your dispatch template is a snippet, you may want to add slots to it; otherwise, you may get some surprises on publishing behavior!
The issue comes from how touch parent is implemented in version 6. If a snippet does not have any slots, touch parent action will not continue to the next parent! So if a dispatch snippet is used along the active assembly “chain”, updating a child item (and returning it to public) will not mark some of the parents as modified for the next incremental publish.
