Better diffing for flows (and process builders)

We (as in, people managing changes in Salesforce orgs as a whole) need a better way to compare changes in flows and process builders.

Comparing the XML is /garbage/, and manual verification is so reliant on humans it’s heinously error prone.

We need something that can scrub the “ids” while maintaining the semantic relations, and either manual reordering of the XML or something not order dependent for diffing.

I wrote something once which converted the PB to Apex, but it was too literal, and ended up with the same issues as the xml for order and id string changes.

Throwing this out there for discussion. Love it, or hate it, at least maybe it’ll get talked about.
