There surely is. There is no particular reason why an Open Source project has to encourage the use of a proprietary operating system and spend resources on "fixing" "funny behaviour" on such platforms. If it happens to work and/or there is enough interest of _developers_ on that platform, such development will eventually happen. Andre'
