At least, most of the text discusses the support (e.g., the idea that each CM tool supplies userdata to bootstrap itself) in terms appropriate for a single CM tool per instance; also, there is no discussion of combining userdata from several CM tools. I agree with the separation of concerns issues that have been raised. I think all this software config stuff can be handled by a pre-processor that takes an extended template in and outputs a plain template that can be consumed by today's heat engine (no extension to the heat engine necessary).
