Great, I've been thinking about this as well - I've been poking at cpatch here-and-there as well and had started working on a python version that I believe will be easier to hack on further.

Is there a link to a WIP PR or something along that line? I'd be interested in trying it out a bit. In the short term, I'll try to put together a proof-of-concept PR for some of the build container ideas I'm thinking of. It seems like there's a fair amount of interest.
