Is anybody updating the Cloudformation module for the new features from boto3?

i.e.

Change Sets, Event Description, etc…

If not, then I’ll go ahead and get started., because I could use the added functionality yesterday.

Did anyone follow up on this? With the recent changes (YAML!!!), I wondering if anyone has started working on anything yet?

This was asked about yesterday too.  
@ryansb is this on the/a radar? I can try and throw something together otherwise.

Stephen - my source cloudformation configs are in YAML, I’ve always run them through a JSON conversion step. So I’d love to work on this. Perhaps we can take this offlist with anyone else who wants to work on it.
