My two cents.  ( Disclaimer:  I'm the creator of Ansible and the CTO
of http://ansibleworks.com )

Having ways to configure fedora by CLI are immediately valuable to
everyone.   They immediately reduce complexity in spins, and so on,
but also
get people in Fedora exposure to configuration management tools.   It
would be easy to wrap these with something as simple as a makefile and
they
would not even need to know ansible.

ansible has both a Python API for launching playbooks and a CLI.  It
has a pluggable callback system for letting people know when things
happen.
nothing really is missing to enable those kinds of integrations should
someone be putting in the effort to develop them.

Any sort of interface can be developed independently of the content
and I'm happy to help with advice in that regard, but I'm obviously a
lot more interested
in content.
