I believe this is because no one has done the work to contribute that to the
open source project, and no one has paid Oracle's VirtualBox team to do the
work themselves.  OS'es with tiny user bases don't get support added by just
wishing for it, and having an already listed OS be close enough for most
purposes pushes it even further down the priority list.
