Changes
GenericBaseModel.get_cfn_attribute
and unify code paths between legacy and new providersPreviously the ResourceStatusReason on the stack failure was empty, now it's set to the string representation of the caught exception. This is currently only enabled when CFN_VERBOSE_ERRORS is set though. We should probably make this the default though in the next minor release to increase parity.
New stack status:
We might also want to by start failing stacks by default when outputs can't be resolved but since this differs quite a bit from the current behavior I think we should have a deprecation path for this.
