In that proposal, each component can use a different configuration 
management tool.

In this proposal, I get the idea that it is intended that each Compute 
instance run only one configuration management tool.  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).

Regards,
Mike
