Hi

Phase one of convergence should be merged in early L (we have some of the
patches merged now).
Phase two is to separate the "checking" of actual state into a new RPC
service within Heat.
Then you *could* run that checker periodically (or receive RPC
notifications) to learn of changes
to the stack's state during the lifetime of the stack. That *might* get
done in L - we will just have to see
how things go.
