I believe this is one of the problems that ACF2 looks to solve.  But I
don't personally work on ACF/ACF2, so I can't tell you for certain.

Other than that, I think a patch would be fine as a short-term
solution.  We (myself and my employer) are certainly interested in
using ACF for instance orchestration, too, in our internal builds of
Alpine.
