If we could change CC into Program Change, then it could be possible to change synth's preset by one knob. I have few synths where it's not easy to change preset quickly (jam, for example) like Modal Craft, Skulpt, where two hands are necessary to do that (and it's quite complicated and takes too long time).
Another idea is to change single key press (for example pad) into increment/decrement program change. For example if i sent CC 1 value 1 then it will increment Program Change number, and when CC 1 value 10 then decrement Program Change (every time when pressed).
What controller are you using that can't send Program Change messages?
Midi Fighter Twister, nanoKey/pad/control/studio, arturia keystep pro and much, much more. It's not CC (which is supported well) but incrementing program change (so one key press = Program Change +1 or -1 between 1-127)

I'm not sure when he will get to it, but he has been spending more time developing for the MRCC again lately, so I'll see if I can go over the idea again next time I'm in the office.
That's grat news! I hope it will be implemented. I could be great if Program Change could be initiated by CC or NOTE message too (so we could use two midi keys to change prorgam). MRCC is my "brain" and this functionality could be great to centralize it.
