I've already replied in the patch, since you also mentioned the patch here, i think it's necessary also reply you here.
That patch failed to get attention from other team members and the community who are not interested in such change, as the PTL, i have to merge it myself to not block other patches. At the same time, some users were complaining the current trove image build approach, which could be improved with that patch.
If self-approved is something you disagree, I'd appreciate if you could offer some help for the review.
