Hello Thomas, 

I have seen flame! I think that it's a great project.  I believe you are right. I believe there are ideas in both projects that should be merged. I'm hoping that eventually users will be able to snapshot environments as a stack template. Later even have a template management system so that users may be able to revert their environment back to an original stack template. This will be great for testing purposes. If you take a look at the paper, we briefly mentioned Flame as well!

I'm hoping that people will be able to see the use cases and power of tools like these.
