Yesterday I've released this feature and is now available on pypi (python 
package index) and can be installed via ansible-openwisp2.

I've tested the release on 3 instances, but as usual, I suggest to back up 
your data before upgrading because we are moving fast and introducing 
delicate changes that may break things.
