Is it just your conviction?
3) Its proponents aren't claiming that it should be a popular option -- just that they want it available.
Mmmm. Why it should not be a popular option?
These issues make a pretty clear case for why it shouldn't be part of an official release. Without committed people supporting it, any issues that arise make the entire release look bad.
If the issue is to make it easy to install, then perhaps one solution might be to add the ability (if it doesn't already exist) to add external repositories and patterns early in the installation process.
