Lack of manpower. I have suggested in the past that a ports-branch for one or 
more specific releases could be maintained by a band of 
individuals/corporations (but outside of the freebsd project) which happen to 
need it and I still think it's a good idea. I'm convinced that there must be 
quite a number (professional) users of FreeBSD which already invest man- and 
machinepower into things such as package builders and custom ports 
modifications - cooperation could lead to greater benefit and some synergy 
savings.
