It would be very handy to allow Jinja2 template directives to work inside cloudformation

This currently allows you to reduce resource declaration duplication.

Hi Dean,

Cumulus is tool intended to help you work with cloudformation and managed complex template hierarchy. We are not trying to add any new functionality to cloudformation. The same templates you use with cumulus must remain usable even without cumulus, and introducing client-side templating with jinja means you must use cumulus to parse it.
