ORF option to discard changes made during database initialization

ORF currently abends with a 'GE' status code in the apply phase, if changes are made to the database during initialization. We'd like an option in ORF to disregard these changes instead of trying to apply them. It would reduce abends and eliminate unnecessary manual intervention.
