CFEngine is both a scripting engine and a site-wide OS customizing 
framework.

FAI is an OS install and customizing framework.

FAI can make use _some_ CFEngine _scripts_ (and many other scripts), but 
the core of the FAI framework is different from CFEngine the framework.

I agree with Mike that a move to FAI is a different path than tying 
CFEngine scripts to the CFEngine framework.

I believe that a move to FAI will make Debian Edu easier to reuse for 
similar but not identical Debian usecases.

I believe that use of CFEngine the framework has a higher risk of 
drifting further away from Debian than FAI.
