Currently you can customize the renderers used for states. However, we don't have a corresponding mechanism for customized templating for the file state (where you set the template argument to jinja or whatever). Instead the "template" argument is limited to the built-in templating options found in salt/states/file.py.

If the renderers were decoupled from the templating at the extension level, then you could use your custom templating extension for both your custom renderer and your file states.
