JAMF Tooling for DEP & Machine Config Workflows?

I took some time to look through feature requests, forums, etc - maybe I'm having a bad day with my search terms... Sorry if this is a repost of a common discussion.

JAMF Admin worked well for making nested smart configs for more traditional imaging, and I know I can use something like Splashbuddy or DEP Notify, and a bunch of policies that use objects created via JAMF Admin... but surely this is a need where some additional supporting JAMF Tooling might be helpful.

Have we heard anything about something like JAMF Admin built around DEP, where you would be able to drag and drop packages, scripts, etc into a repository, and then build a workflow that can be assigned to a DEP prestage?

Again, I know I can build out something much like this with existing 3rd party tools .. but c'mon!

I think the modern answer DEP all the machines the same and then let the user decide what gets installed with the IBM enrollment app.

Also there is a thread were Jamf said they work working on a built in tool, and they set up meeting with users but that was a few months ago..

JAMF made a brief demo of some concepts for their own built in tool to do the work that SplashBuddy etc... are currently used for back at the Jamf Nation London Roadshow but did say it was still very much a 'in the future' thing and wouldnt give any hint of when they think it might be ready for a BETA that we can access let alone hitting production.
