Comment (by knarf):
I also don't quite understand what Formaline should do here. Formaline deals with the source code, and it generally does it's job. Simfactory deals with build options, submission scripts ect, and it does so too.
The option list can usually be found in name/SIMFACTORY/cfg/OPTIONLIST, and the other scripts are in run/, or expanded versions in individual restarts, properties.ini is saved as well. As long as users don't delete this, I don't really see a reason why we should duplicate it.
On more general teams, I see Simfactory 'above' Formaline in terms of layers. If anything, Simfactory might know about Formaline's special output and post-process it if wanted, not the other way around.
