Description

Why not use Resource Type Providers (Python [here](https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/cloudformation-cli-python-plugin/)) instead of custom resources? If the resource types are split into smaller parts, other deployment frameworks (like [CDK](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/latest/), [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aws/index.html), [Pulumi](https://www.pulumi.com/docs/), [OrgFormation](https://github.com/OlafConijn/AwsOrganizationFormation)) could use them to manage AWS resources. The benefit being the ability to share code among all of them because we will be using CloudFormation services in the end.
