Yes, the reason there are lots of repositories is for ease of releasing 
packages. When they're separate, they can be released separately with different 
versions. It can be annoying when I need to update a bunch of packages at the 
same time, like I did yesterday. But, that's pretty rare. Usually when I make a 
major rev bump on core and have to update all affected ACFs.

When those were created there was some expectation that there would be
millions of ACF package maintainers. Each acf would be treated as a
separate project. There was also a backthought that ACF projects should
be distro agnostic and not an alpine linux thing only.

We have talked about that before. Then you cannot make new release by
just doing git tag. You can ofcourse do a makefile target for releases.

We could also treat the ACF as one big monolitic project and have one
APKBUILD for it with tons of subpackages. But then would all ACF
modules have same version number so there would be 54 package upgrades
every time any package changed.

I suppose my opinon don't count that much since I'm not involved there
so much. I have been thining of looking at ACF when get time but...
"get time" tend to never happen.

I leave it up to the people who works on it. (tdtrask)
