So it's made out of Cloud Foundry components, but it's not Cloud Foundry, or part of Cloud Foundry, or a future version of Cloud Foundry? The FAQ actually does a pretty good job of explaining this:
It seems to me that one way of looking at Lattice is that it's a jig for running the core components of Cloud Foundry on a developer desktop or a developer/test/sandbox/lab slice of a cloud. It makes doing so much easier than running a complete CF. That ease comes from including fewer components, and replacing BOSH with Terraform. As a result, it will make evaluation and development of these components much easier.
That's not to say that Lattice is not suited to production use - i'm sure it is. But i would guess that for a lot of people, it's a means to an end.

From Pivotal/Cloud Foundry, this was just announced at Sam Ramji's "The Makings of a Modern Application Architecture" keynote at the O'Reilly Software Architecture Conference.
